The little Bible lesson was for our Christian posters. My comment concerning bigotry was to emphasize that there are bigots in all communities just in case our gay friendly posters missed all that you posted.
As far as science is concerned there is a disagreement even among scientists concerning the interpretation of what is generally accepted as scientific proof. The history of science fact is a moving target of what is thought to be truth.
Can God be shown to exist using the scientific method? That depends on how one interprets the world we live in. I know you do not accept the Bible as definitive or authoritative but:
Romans 1:18-20
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. NAS
Yes, it is easy to get off topic.
As to the appropriateness of Christians being at a gay meeting:
On October 10, 2004, the four Christians were arrested in Philadelphia. They are part of Repent America. Along with founder Michael Marcavage, members of Repent America--with police approval--were preaching near Outfest, a homosexual event, handing out Gospel literature and carrying banners with Biblical messages.
When they tried to speak, they were surrounded by a group of radical homosexual activists dubbed the Pink Angels. A videotape of the incident shows the Pink Angels interfering with the Christians’ movement on the street, holding up large pink symbols of angels to cover up the Christians' messages and blowing high pitched whistles to drown out their preaching.
Notice the Christians obeyed PA law and got a permit to picket (note the police approval statement), therefore they were within their legal rights.
Street evangelism is an appropriate way to get a message across and as long as city ordinances are not violated are totally legal. I have seen street evangelism in Houston near gay bars where gay men simply ignored those handing out tracts. From what I have read concerning this incident the Christians were not preaching against homosexuality and the banners they carried were not anti-gay.
Since the gay community has the idea that all Christians oppose equal rights it seems only logical the gay community would give what they want and respect the rights of others.
But, according to an article in the Philadelphia Gay News days before the street festival, homosexual organizers were planning to block Christians from access to the event.
Chuck Volz, senior adviser to Philly Pride Presents, told the publication the Pink Angels security force would carry large signs alongside the Christians to surround them and block their access to OutFest participants.
"We'll have a pink wall around them," he said. "Hopefully, they will be so frustrated they won't come again. Talking to a piece of Styrofoam is not the same as talking to a crowd of people."
Volz also made clear that "diversity" was not the goal of the street festival.
"It's our event, and we're not going to permit vendors or community groups that conflict with the theme of the event," he said. He said welcoming Christians to the street festival would be analogous to a black event welcoming white supremacists.
Police said they would have cordoned off the permitted area for OutFest, preventing protesters from attending, had event organizers obtained an injunction from a judge. But OutFest organizers did not get an injunction.

It would appear the OutFest organizers were looking for trouble because they could have prevented Repent America from being in the area if they had obtained an injunction.
This could make a good case to take "hate crime" legislation to the Supreme Court, especially if the Christians are convicted.
