Gays in fraternites (pt. 2)

Stepping back out of the arguement now

I get that, but they would not be granted the permit. No way in hell. It's one step short of public porn and sets back gay rights every time they do it.

I get what you're saying. But beyond the legality of it all, the perception of its immorality isn't limited to heterosexuals, Christians (or even Southerners). When people ssume that only certain groups have a sense of morality, that's when you are getting into dangerous territory.

PT-Yes, they would get one.
Happens in more than just one city every year.
And in some cities, some people can march and even hold protests without permits. But that is part of a whole other thread
