“The power of protest. You got to love it!” Michelle Meeks Le Guellec, one of the protest organizers, told NBC News.
Several protest participants conveyed that church parishioners have a right to believe whatever they want, but the protesters took issue with the sign being placed for all passersby to see.
“Keep it in your church. If it’s not something hopeful for the community, if it’s not loving, keep it in your church,” Charolette Kalayjian, who helped organize the protest, told KOBI-TV. “Keep it in your house. Don’t share it with everybody.”

The first one rejects the "power of protest" by the church or pastor against the misperceptions held in the community.
The other protestors make a public stand against a Christian church, without saying why the church isn't loving, while denying the church a public voice. How do the protestors become the determiner of what is right? They say to keep the beliefs inside the "church" but they are outside with their beliefs.
