When (intolerant) push comes to (alleged) shove
Larry Cirignano, executive director of a Massachusetts anti-gay marriage group called Catholic Citizenship, is being accused of pushing a female gay marriage supporter to the ground during a weekend rally. From the Worcester Telegram & Gazette:
Sarah Loy, 27, of Worcester was holding a sign in defense of same-sex marriage amid a sea of green “Let the People Vote” signs when Larry Cirignano of Canton, who heads the Catholic Citizenship group, ran into the crowd, grabbed her by both shoulders and told her, “You need to get out. You need to get out of here right now.” Mr. Cirignano then pushed her to the ground, her head slamming against the concrete sidewalk.
Although if we know our opposition, we imagine that before making his push, Mr. Cirignano first created the illusion that his actions were not designed to hurt anyone, but were merely meant to protect children, families, and the sanctity of society.

**For his part, Mr. Cirignano denies that he shoved Ms. Loy. And hey, if we can't trust a man who denounces our lives and beings, and who thinks we gays are living in sin, who can we trust?
