Pride Attendees Attacked By Crowd

[William769]

A tiny LGBT Pride gathering in Thessaloniki, Greece of 400 people was attacked by protesters yesterday, according to the Associated Press. Police reported that about 50 people hurled plastic water bottles and raw eggs at LGBT participants in a city that was already riled over plans for Pride. AP reported that Anthimos, the senior Greek Orthodox cleric in Thessaloniki who only goes by one name, had been outspoken in publicly condeming that city's first Pride rally.

You would think that they have more to worry about there than a PRIDE event.

1. predictable

once the Orthodox church is involved, you get religous motivated violence

2. I think being concerned about things like Pride events is

a big part of the reason that they have so much more to worry about.

If they weren't totally focusing hate on the GLBT community all the time, they might not be in the mess they are in right now.

But haters gotta hate; that's their priority in life.
