Unbeatable Logic

I'm reading an article from The Bedford Minuteman (apparently Massachusetts–why is it that on-line newspapers seem to think we all know where their towns are?) called Gay pink-triangle school sticker stirs debate. It reports on the anguish a few election-emboldened parents feel in Bedford over the fact that they've just noticed "Gay Safe Space" stickers put up in their children's schools, where they've been in place from about the last 10 years.
The reaction appears to be spearheaded by a Ms. Pamela Clare of "Families for Truth" (their quotation marks, mind you), who had this to say while making remarks to the school board explaining how none of this was appropriate, although she has nothing against gay people:

"If you do it for one group, then you have to do it for all groups, and they're not willing to do that," Clare said. "They are not willing to put up anything that they're not willing to put up."

The spellbinding, watertight logic of this last statement is so breathtaking that, that … it takes my breath away.
