Seems there was this group of 25,000 teenagers who assembled in San Francisco, the self-proclaimed "most tolerant and progressive city" in America. But there was a problem - the assembly was of a group of evangelical Christians, and they were not welcomed warmly.
The rally, called "Battle Cry for a Generation" was led by a guy named Ron Luce, who wants "God's instruction book" to guide young people away from the corrupting influence of MTV, MySpace.com, and other parts of popular culture that seek to glamorize sex and violence. Seems wholesome enough, right?
Not in the eyes of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, who passed a resolution condemning the "act of provocation" by what it termed an "anti-gay," "anti-choice" organization that aimed to "negatively influence the politics of America's most tolerant and progressive city."
In addition, the gathering was met by about 50 protestors representing a broad spectrum of San Francisco's finest-- from abortion-rights advocates to anti-war activists to atheists.
I guess America's most tolerant city can't tolerate Christians.
