What
happened in Washington, D.C., should remind us of the peaceful sit-ins
of the 1960s. The courts found that the police action removing people
from private businesses violated the Equal Protection Clause.
In a series of cases the lower federal courts and the Supreme Court
reversed convictions of black and white civil protesters who were
convicted under state criminal trespass or disturbing the peace laws
when they sat in the “white-only” section of various lunch counters and
restaurants and refused to move after having been ordered to do so by
the agent of the establishment.

Specifically, an imam from the The Islamic Center called police to
remove three women who were worshiping peacefully in the main prayer
hall after he told them it was "men only," They complied. Ronald
Rotunda's argument in this Pajama's Media story, is that "There
are precious little differences between the sit-in cases of the 1960s
and the Muslim sit-in cases." One, the courts ruled, violated the
equal protection clause based on race; this one is based on gender.
All this (somehow?) leads me to ponder over this question about gay demonstrations, and church invasions by gay activists.

If gays are upset because the Catholic church won't sanctify homosexuality, where are the demonstrations, and mosque invasions? I mean, what the hell? Shariah law demands their freaking execution! Someone 'splain, please.
