On October 13, 1998, I held a demonstration in the street outside the theater that hosted \”Corpus Christi,\” the Terrence McNally play that depicted Christ having sex with the apostles. I did not seek to have the government censor the play, but there was a protest of my right to protest the play. The New York Times commented on my demonstration: \”The protest began with a fiery speech from William A. Donohue, the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Holding a bullhorn inside an area barricaded by the police, Mr. Donohue shouted criticisms at the opposition. \’You are the real authoritarians at heart,\’ he said. \’We\’re the ones that believe in tolerance, not you phonies.\’\”
