Liberty Sunday - And So It Begins - Live Blogging
It's about an hour before the event and the protesters have begun to gather outside. At the moment, it's hardly an impressive turnout. Time will tell. It is also peaceful at the moment, though the streets in this old town are pretty crowded.
UPDATE: I just took a quick walk through the various protestors. The crowd as grown over the last half-hour and is amazing in it's diversity. They are attracting just about every kind of extremist on both sides of the aisle. I collected one flyer that contnded that Gov. Romney was who was really responsible for gay marriage in Massachusetts. ?????
But far and away, the crowd (about 50 at the moment) is of the gay rights = civil rights camp. Setting aside my religious objections for just a moment, I cannot help but be struck by how this cheapens the important issue of genuine civil rights. As I just overheard one person say, "I have met former homosexuals, but I can never be a 'former black.'"
