- From what I know, what ACT-UP did at St. Pat's was a lot more
- disturbing; they threw condoms, they chained themselves to the pews,
- and most grievously, they showed incredible disrepect in desecrating

- besides, from what I understand, what was interrupted in this case
- was not a worship service but a workshop on teen sexuality (or did
- I misread the original post?). That's a far cry from what happened
- at St. Pat's.

- Do I support disrupting religious ceremonies? In general, no. As I stated
- above, I was under the impression that what was disrupted was not in
- fact a worship service but a workshop. I do not approve of ACT-UP -- I
- almost had my arm broken by one.
