The City by the Bay is fast becoming America's most anti-religious and bigoted city, according to Citizen Link, a Focus on the Family publication.
For the second time in as many weeks, San Francisco was downright unfriendly to Christians, the publication reported.
This time, it was teenagers, they said. More than 25,000 evangelical Christian teens met in San Francisco on Friday and Saturday for a two-day rally at AT&T Park. The youth rally, Teen Mania's "Battle Cry for a Generation," focused on the sexualization of culture -- and encouraged teens to stand for virtue.
Apparently that message was so repugnant to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that it passed a resolution condemning the Christian youth rally as an "act of provocation." The supervisors also called it an "anti-gay, anti-choice organization" that "aimed to negatively influence the politics of America's most tolerant and progressive city."
 Teen Mania leader Ron Luce said this was the first time one of his rallies has been officially condemned. 
Assemblyman Mark Leno, the homosexual activist who represents San Francisco in the California Assembly, also told an audience of gays protesting the meeting that the "fundamentalist" teens were "loud," "obnoxious" and "disgusting" and "should get out of San Francisco," Citizen Link reported.
This is not the first anti-religious act to take place in a city named for St. Francis of Assisi, Citizen Link reported. Just last week, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution condemning the Roman Catholic Church as a "foreign power" and telling San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer to flout the Vatican and support homosexual adoption. The archbishop declined to do so.
