A few days ago the San Francisco board of supervisors "welcomed" a group of evangelical teens to their fair city. While the teens held their rally, Assemblyman Mark Leno said they were
loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting and they should get out of San Francisco.I didn't bother to cover it because you can't keep up with every nutty thing that happens in SF. But here's a surprising editiorial from one of the local papers.
The gathering was not an "act of provocation," as the supervisors claimed. It was a get-together of young evangelicals whose lifestyles and religious views just happen to be in the minority here -- apparently making them open season for politicians to chastise.
The young people who came to San Francisco to affirm their faith and enjoy a day of rock music deserved better. They deserved to be welcomed by a city that was as tolerant and progressive as its sanctimonious supervisors like to profess.
I'll be. Curtsy: Amy Welborn.
