The anti-gay group decided to cancel their speech because they thought the protest would generate negative publicitiy (again using their free speech)

Frankly, I don't see what the problem is. Obviously no one's free speech was denied. So are people upset that a speech was being protested? Are you saying, "People shouldn't protest things because those things might be cancelled?" Does that viewpoint make any sense at all?
I agree. I know I wouldn't have canceled my speech.

More on the guy.
