Where there is the expectation of privilege, equality will be seen as persecution. Few groups expect privilege quite like the conservative Christians in this country, who can never stop trying to mark their territory in the public square owned by everyone.

Why can’t they put it up on their own land? The land is only sacred to you because you pissed on it 50 years ago, not because it has any real meaning. When the land went to the city for a park, the cross should have moved elsewhere. And if the land was so sacred, the Lions Club should have gotten the whole thing, not just the cross.

So what if the city wants an unencumbered park? That’s part of having public spaces. The park belongs to the whole city, not just the Christians who throw temper tantrums whenever someone else gets attention.

Why can’t Christians just look the other way regarding LGBT people? Or mosques or any number of other things they flip out over?
