Kemper now:
I don't know how wrong it is.  The church in question has a history 
of anti-gay stances and sermons and even depicted images of gays 
burning in hell.  I'm sure that group would have stayed out of the 
church, if the church would have stayed out of their lives.

It's not like the group protested any church.  The Unitarians weren't 
protested.  My sister works with gay youth in SLC and they went to 
protest and picket the LDS Temple as the church funded a good portion 
of the campaign.  If they didn't, there wouldn't have been protests 
there... or at least less likely.

I've seen some protest signs which say: no more Mr/s Nice Gay.  The 
sentiment and behavior is understandable.  

So the actions of the group in Michigan seemed RIGHT, RIGHT, 
RIGHT!!!!!  Or at least not WRONG^3.
