Just like I don't judge all Christians by what Westbro says and does, and I don't judge all Christian denominations by the Catholic Church's systemic problem of protecting sex offenders, I also wouldn't judge the gay community by the words or actions of a few.
Just because a Flames fan acted like an ass at a Vancouver game doesn't make all Flames fans asses.

I'm still digging the irony of korzym12 trying to compare the anti-gay laws in Russia to the Anti-Christian insults in North America. There is a pretty big difference between insulting a priest versus making it illegal to say "it is okay being gay" in a public place where there may or may not be children present. Pretty much comparing apples and whales.
But the irony: isn't this whole situation with the Russian anti-gay law happening under the guise of protecting their christian values? So while there may be people in the gay community saying mean things about priests, there are christians in the Russian community trying to make it illegal to be gay.
It makes it really hard for me to feel bad for the christians in this story.
