If gays are so tolerant, why are they disrupting an Ex-‘gay’ conference? ~ “Coexistence?” Not so much ~

“(R)everse intolerance” is on display again this weekend in San Diego, with as many as 1,000 pro-LGBTQ protesters expected to converge on a Christian ex-“gay” conference designed to help and uplift men and woman seeking to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction.
 
The stated goal of at least some of the protesters is to disrupt the Restored Hope Network (RHN) conference, representing the largest coalition of ex-homosexual ministries in the world […]
 
“They [Restored Hope] are not welcome in this city,” said a gay rights activist organizing the protest, adopting the neo-totalitarian talking points of a movement so steeped in “gay pride” that it cannot tolerate dissent, or merely engage its foes with civility.

“If this is true that five individuals inside of the United States government, whether it was the FBI or the Special Counsel’s office — wherever it came from — leaked information about the president of the United States to the Washington Post, information about a supposed investigation, that is a crime,” Sekulow (told Hannity) […]
 
“We can say it’s outrageous, we can say it’s irresponsible. The leak of this information is a crime. And I don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat — it doesn’t matter. Why in the world would we allow, in the United States of America, for information like this to be released?”

Because the Left doesn’t care about truth or the rule of law anymore. They’re playing an unscrupulous game of “Get Trump” at all costs.
