Ignoring the Question. Mediated Communication #2

I came upon this article via facebook and online at KUTV.com. The article wasn't so much a fallacy or cogent so much was the persons being interviewed. A SLC gay club/bar was interviewed about mocking the LDS church with their advertisements. According to the article there were slandering remarks and advertisements toward the LDS church. The critical thinking of the club manager showed fallacy and did not (in my opinion) help the LGBT community achieve what it is striving for...equality. The manager showed signs of ignoring the question (#13), justifying and rationalizing the clubs behavior. Here are some quotes from the manager:

"We're not having people in garments dancing on the bar, we're not doing stuff like that, we're just having a good time," says Risbon. (Ignoring the question of mocking LDS church, justifying and rarionalizing)

"That is funny to me because we are a bar, our whole purpose is to have a good time and that's exactly what we're doing," says Risbon. (Justifying and rationalizing their behavior)

The clubs behavior strikes me as a bit hypocritical because, if the shoe was on the other foot the LGBT community would be demanding an apology and equality. If you are about equality, it goes both ways.
