Personally, @creativetruth I blieve that "Any Group" or organization should be free to address/celebrate their beliefs in a peaceful manner. If anyone is so sensative about what they are doing/saying I personally would suggest they take another look at what it is they are doing.
While I would not appreciate getting rotted vegetable matter thrown at me, I would like to see the "Rocky Horror Midnight Show" and even dressed up as a character. I enjoy watching different celebrations and I tend to not censor myself and if I cause offense, I apologize. If someone is so small minded that he feels he must insult a group he doesn't understand, then he should be educated in whathe has done wrong. If a person strikes another in what he believes to be "righteous indignation" he also needs to educated in his religion.
But then again, been through 2 wars not counting the last 17 years, so I am still learning. Not to mention I am about as old as a fossil...
