An evangelical Christian group is welcomed to San Francisco by the city’s noble statesmen:

Assemblyman Mark Leno [...] told counterprotesters at City Hall on Friday that while such fundamentalists may be small in number, “they’re loud, they’re obnoxious, they’re disgusting, and they should get out of San Francisco.”

[...]

Earlier this week, the Board of Supervisors 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.”

So, because the group might not agree with the politics of the people who run America’s most tolerant city, they should just get the hell out. (I’d hate to think of the reception they’d get if San Francisco weren’t so tolerant.)

Christian Gallion, a 15-year-old in town with his Assembly of God youth group from Humboldt County, shrugged off being called “fascists” by counterdemonstrators.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Gallion said. “It’s a beautiful city, and we don’t have anything against the protesters.”

The adults who run San Francisco could probably learn a little something about tolerance from this 15-year-old boy.
