both are well within their rights

Entity A has the right to it's opinion

Entity B has the right to protest

but my underlying question is... can the protest not be civil? can it not be tasteful?

i mean whats wrong with carrying signs and chanting some sort of protest mantra?
Just to add to what GR said, you have two hypersensitive groups trying to step on each others toes. The prop 8 in california opposition was heavily backed by the LDS church, the "gay community" is still really pissed about this getting shot down by the voters. I see this as payback.
