The ultimate point is, and what many people here are desperate to avoid confronting, is there is extreme bullshit going on on both ends of the ideological spectrum today.  The only difference of substance is that one side is constantly excused by the mainstream and the other side is consistently demonized, see "domestic terrorist" parents at school board meetings again.  Seriously, at the end of the day I'm going to live my life and enjoy it as best I can.  But I abhor unfairness, and today's society is rife with it, and far too many people here appear to ok with it because it aligns with their personal preferences.

I don't have numbers for you regarding gay pride parades being attacked etc. 

Regarding speakers at college, I think the students should have the right to protest speakers that they think spout hurtful rhetoric. I'm not aware of any speakers being attacked but it wouldn't surprise me. For some on the left, they believe those people's words are literally violence (and in some cases, I agree).

And I think the thing you're picking up on with the media is that one side is fighting for equal rights and the other is fighting against them (or that is the perception at the very least) and people generally view the former more favorably than the latter.
