Behavior at Parade

My son volunteered to march with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Life Teen group at Sunday's Queen Parade. It was a small contingent of teens and youth leaders that played Christian music and took turns carrying a wooden cross that had been signed by all the teens. What's disturbing is the majority of paradegoers reacted by booing them and accusing them of "ruining the party"! They were told to "turn the cross upside down" (a sign of devil worship) and "go home". The warmest reception was from an African American church group who cheered them (the teens were mostly caucasian). I admire the courage of these teens to live their faith in public, but am embarrased by the behavior of drunk adults who jeered them. Is this really what this world has become? If so, God help us all......
