Philly 11 - Court Says No Leg To Stand On

A federal appeals court has dismissed the “civil rights” complaint by 11 Philadelphia citizens who are proclaiming to be Christians even though they appear to be full of hate. A ruling states they have no cause against the First Amendment rights the organizers of the city’s Outfest celebration back in 2004.

“The city has an interest in ensuring that a permit-holder can use the permit for the purpose for which it was obtained,” this week’s opinion from the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. “This interest necessarily includes the right of police officers to prevent counter-protestors from disrupting or interfering with the message of the permit-holder.”

The decision upheld a previous court’s dismissal of the case which was a gross demonstration of hate and and discrimination towards the GLBT community.

Hooray for justice!
