Youth Rally Condemned

Read this article a couple days ago. There was a big Christian youth rally in San Francisco and here's how the city government responded:

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."

The article was from a San Francisco paper, so it's bias might be evident. I found it interesting that they made a point of calling the rally militaristic.

Military metaphors abound in Luce's descriptions of the struggle. He tells young people of how "an enemy has launched a brutal attack on them." At a pre-Battle Cry rally Friday afternoon on the steps of City Hall, Luce told his mostly teenage audience that "terrorists of a different kind" -- advertisers -- were targeting them and that they were "caught in the middle of the battle."
