[Vision2020] Trinity Festival protest

[Joe Campbell]

Who on earth does not recognize the right, Crabtree? Should they do it? No.

I understand that to make the point this simply would require you to --shudder -- say something critical of the Wilson clan, thereby questioning 
your very purpose and point of existence in this public forum.

Oh dear, another in a long line of points missed I'm afraid. I am not in

of "CC-owned establishments asking gays and lesbians to leave their 
premises."
I am in favor of their right to do so. I do not support the choice, I 
support the
right to make it. An overly subtle difference for you perhaps but a 
difference
none the less. If this bit of rhetoric provides you with another measure of
amazement, (or more likely sails past you unexamined) you're welcome. What
amazes me is how in your lexicon "pretty much" equates to "not that much at 
all, really."

P.S. Let's also bear in mind that the whole "asking the homosexual crowd to 
leave
the premises" thing was, to the best of my recollection, a completely 
unsubstantiated
rumor. A charge that was easy to make but difficult to verify. Not that 
verifiable fact
has ever had anything to do with allegations hurled on this forum.
