I guess what strikes me the most about this is how insensitive this group of Christians is to how many people feel about Christianity and proselytizing.

I'm a gay man and a long time LGBTQ activist and I'm not shitting you when I tell you that if I find myself amidst a group of proselytizing Christians, I feel great fear. I know I'm in the midst of a group of people who hate me or who at least hate my insistence that I'm a perfectly morally equal member of society. I know I'm in the midst of a group of people who probably work their asses off to deny my civil equality and to demonize me and the people I love.

I shouldn't have to feel that fear just because I choose to take a form of transportation open to the general public.

I don't know what these people think they were accomplishing, but if I'd have been on that plane, I would have exited hating Christians even more than I already do.
