When has any protester ever made that claim?

Considering how fat and conservatively-dressed the figure is, I don't think that's a protestor. The sign's just to make it clear what's being said.

I can't think of any examples of protestors, per se, but there are people who say that.

Not quite accurate. Thomas holds the same position as Scalia while writing in many cases. In fact, it is well known that after getting his Yale degree, he put a 50 cents sticker on it to express his disgust with how little the degree did for him (feeling that because he was black, employers saw him as a product of affirmative action, and would not hire him). So, if anything, Thomas would point to himself as a prime example of what Scalia said.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

Option 3: Localizing Steven Universe in a way that erases two woman-looking beings being intimate is homophobic.

and ill say it again: a company making the decision not to ship/localize their game to a certain region isnt censorship. they just dont want to send it there.

which is quite different from the censorship of a lesbian relationship by corporate authority

I don't know if the guy in the middle, with the two kids, is supposed to be someone creepy (who may have done creepy things to kids?) or just a regular person who uses the same phrase but I think the comic would work even better in the latter case.

Not everyone who says that they are doing god's work does horrible things, not everyone who does horrible things claims that they are doing it for their god, but there is enough overlap on this subject that it is notable.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I think the eyes of the kids are meant to tell you its creepy, I think he's the guy from the breakaway Church of later Day Saints who had a lot of spiritual wives who were under age.
