Indeed.

A few years ago the good citizens of my home town were denied the feast of the intellect that is "Jerry Springer: The Opera". A small group of Christian zealots protested outside the theatre where it was due to be staged, and the theatre cancelled it.

I've not the slightest objection to anyone deciding not to see such a thing themselves. I have a big problem with them forcing their "morality" on everyone else.
