6. This has gone to ridiculous, with the arrest of journalists, including Don Lemon, who were just there recording it.

Of course, the journalists and the photos they took make Pam Bondi and the two Southern Baptist seminary presidents who were shrieking and lip flapping about it look like pathological liars, because what they had to say about it cannot be verified with the very thorough video footage and commentary of witnesses. It was an orderly protest, it called the hypocrites out, which they obviously did not like, it did not frighten children or create chaos and the disruption made the point and it was over.

It's hard to say whether a church with the cliche "Everyone welcome" invitation is not a public place. Either everyone is welcome or they are not. And if protesters inside are an embarassment to hypocritical actions contrary to orthodox, biblical Christian practice, and they don't want to be called out for their lies and their bigotry, then lock the doors and post a guard who only lets people in with an invitation. That would be the ultimate result anyway, in churches that exclude people like this one does.
