Anti-Gay Marriage Rally in Asheville clashes with Gay Marriage Supporters SaturdayI thought it was quite odd that there were no publicly announced counter-protests for the Anti-Gay Rally the area churches had in Asheville today, since Asheville is nationally known to have quite a large gay population as well as many protesters. Until I saw this.....Police, gay rights advocates clash at rally sponsored by local churches. And saw the local news coverage. They came. They saw. They raised a little hell.

"A fracas erupted Saturday on City-County Plaza as a line of police officers attempted to separate gay protesters from a rally in support of a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages.""Several hundred people converged on the plaza to make their views known. Some came from area churches to hear ministers proclaim marriage to be a sacred bond between a man and woman, while others said homosexuals should have the same rights."
