This has me really, really upset~
I guess this is tolerance...
Like I posted before - where were the protests when the MAJORITY of voters were discriminated against by 4 liberal judges in Sacramento?
Were the 61% of the registered voters for prop 22 out in hoards, blocking streets, abusing people, shouting hateful things at gay people after their votes were overturned? NO
Was even a small percentage of those voters for prop 22 tearing down rainbow flags or burning rainbow flags? NO
Were predominantly gay establishements boycotted because they didn't vote for prop 22? NO
Were the backers that opposed prop 22 or even those that backed the No on 8 campaign harassed, blockaded or in any way disparaged? NO
So who exactly are the haters of this whole event?
Who exactly is INTOLERANT of different lifestyle choices?
Who exactly is violent?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Enough already. You lost, take your toys and go home now.
If my child acted half as badly as the No on 8 supporters, as a parent, I would take away more of that child's privilages until they learned some respect.
Why, oh why do gay people compare their suffering to that of blacks in America? Why? Gay, Lesbian and Transgendered people have NEVER suffered the attrocities that blacks have suffered (lynching, tarring, burning alive, denied the vote, slavery, just to name a few) they are not in the same class of sufferage as blacks. The people in the video say they should fight, that they aren't going to back down, just like the black people.
My heart aches to think of the sufferage and mistreatment of blacks thoughout history - the racism. NONE of that compares to the lifestyle of homosexuals in America. Stop diminishing the history of the black Americans accomplishments over racism (yeah, it has a long way to go). It isn't racism to deny the term "marriage" to a lifestyle choice.
...And then they stomp on the cross - the symbol of love and compassion (yes it was a torture device - but it represents the suffering of Jesus for each of them).
The really sad part is that none of those people seem to know that the man that is represented by that cross they stomped on and crushed - STILL LOVES THEM.
...even in their hate
...even in their desire for pride
...even though they curse His name
...even though they deny His Love
...even through all of this arguing and fighting
...whether they like it or not...
JESUS STILL LOVES THEM AND SO SHOULD WE!

Blacks? Ha! So much for "Mr. Politics" eh?
This just makes me sad. I am so sad for the obvious unhappiness of the protestors, the hate and anger thay are feeding. Again and again when I see homosexual demonstrations, parades, or activitists, my thought is that need Jesus!
But the worst part of the whole thing was the last second of the video from the news anchor, "Obviously a lot of hate and anger on BOTH sides." WHAT??? Where was the hate and anger from this poor woman who just stood there?
Well, here's the deal. I agree with you Rick...mostly.
You're right. It makes me angry to see the way they treated her. It does seem like a lot of people are trying to fight perceived hate with their own hate. They were definitely out of line the way they acted. And I'm not a fan of all the protests either.
But it also made me angry when they showed what started it all. I saw this lady parading in front of them with a big cross. What was that going to accomplish? Of course they stomped on the cross, I think because the messenger of the cross did not match the true message of that cross. All I'm saying is, from what I saw, she is not what I want representing my Christian worldview either. There was nothing in her choice of action that seemed to communicate love as I saw it either.
Dear Annonymous,
Not sure of what your comment was supposed to mean - but if you are referring to my use of the term "blacks" instead of "African Americans" - you better update your Political Correctness lexicon!
According to here: http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/3027/a_politically_correct_lexicon
African American: In 1988 Jesse Jackson encouraged people to adopt this term over the then-used “black.” As he saw it, the words acknowledged black America’s ties to Africa. “African American,” says Hill, is now “used more by non-African-American people, who cling to it because they are unsure what word to use.” Sen says, “African American” is favored by “highly educated people who are not black. Whether one uses ‘black’ or ‘African American’ indicates how strong your social relations are with those communities.” And Chris Raab, founder of Afro-Netizen, says, “People who are politically correct chose to use African American, but I don’t recall any mass of black folks demanding the use of African American.”
Black: At Colorlines “black” is used with a capital B, while The Associate Press Stylebook advises use of the lower case.
