"National Parks: How A Photo Of 2 Men Ignited A Storm at Joshua Tree"

"The photo commemorating LGBTQ Pride Month showed two men, standing next to a Joshua tree, holding up their hands together to create the shape of a heart.

When officials at Joshua Tree National Park in California posted the photo on Instagram this week, it set off an immediate ruckus, reflected by comments posted by gay rights opponents:

"Don't let the gays follow you into the park — they will convert you." "Let's see a Christian cross at Joshua tree." "Bigots? No, just normal people who don't want homosexuality shoved down our throats!""
