Somehow, people seem to think that saying "I'm going to preface this with 'love the sinner but hate the sin'" gives them license to spew hate, intolerance, and fear with a smug reassurance of righteous authority and indignation. Whether it passes or fails, some of the religious rhetoric coming from supporters of Prop. 8 has really disgusted me.

Believe it or not, it is possible to love an organization and still have disagreements from time to time. Abandonment and bitterness are not the only reasonable responses.

Over here, I think most people have at least a few gay friends and associates. Am I wrong? |

A friend of mine, who is LDS, joined a group on Facebook called "No on Prop 8 | Don't Eliminate Marriage for Anyone", to which someone responded on his Facebook page with, "I never thought that you would support something in which the whole agenda is to destroy the family. Have you not been listening to the prophets?" What do you say to the person who responds like that?

I'm late to this, but my hat's off to Rocky and mpfunk for hanging in there.

Hitler thought the world would be a better place without Jews. It would be better if the Jews were dead. The Hutus in Rawanda thought that the world would be a better place if they could just get rid of the Tutsi. It would be better if the Tutsi were dead. If only those bosnian muslims could have been eradicated in time to save former Yugoslavia. The list goes on and on. Matador needs to check himself. |
