This morning and afternoon, I manned a table for the Dayton Pagan Alliance at the local Pagan Pride Day event, which was held at the Founders' Quadrangle of Wright State University.
Attendance was decent; I'd say about half were WSU students. I estimate we had somewhere between 75 and 100 people.
The highlight of the day: At noon, we had about a dozen protestors assemble at one end of the quad exercising their First Amendment rights and preaching their message of intolerance and hatred in the name of Jesus. We ignored them while Campus Police kept watch over them in case anyone stepped over the line. The protestors left around 1:00, which was when our open ritual was scheduled to begin.
"If they will not listen, shake the dust from your shoes and move on." Matthew 10:10, I believe.
One of the local TV news stations was there covering the protests. As of now, their version of the events has not been posted to their website.
When I got to my car at the end of the event, I noticed that someone left a Chick tract on my windshield. How special.
