I don't think this picking at each other helps anybody. I personally don't think protesting and marching does a lick of good, but I know I am in the minority. I can't think of any protest, on either side, I would join. Most of the causes that really matter to me, don't have groups of people wanting to march. I have always supported stem cell research, even when others who I loved did not. I got in trouble when I was 12 with my family when I wrote to the Columbus Dispatch that I felt that Darwins Theory of Evolution was a legitimate area of science to study. I try to remain silent on some issues because I have friends who are dear to me who feel that these things are in conflict with faith in God.
All we can do is try to be fair and try to be open minded. I know it does not help anybody understand better when we give or get a mean hearted criticism. And I have done that. Many times.
Now my very heart is tired of stress and dissension.
