Same thing.

So in your mind, people who struggle for equal rights are BAD. I just want to be clear on this... Most people see gay rights as no different from anything else in the civil rights movement. It is just the latest skirmish in a long history of people stuggling to attain equal rights.

No, everyone believes in equal rights. Gays are allowed to marry. The 6% of the pop that they represent is just not permitted to redefine marriage on their terms.

I see the resistance to gay rights coming from the same place that had blacks drinking from seperate water fountains and riding at the back of the bus... You can be equal as long as you don't want to be equal in my back yard...

What do I say to this? You're doing what you accuse others of doing: showing intolerance and bigotry. We can disagree without being bigots and liberal weenies

In the end, these complaints will fade away because bigotry always wilts over time... It wilts because when it really comes down to it we are all just folks... we are the same. And that is true today as will be tomorrow

Time will tell. This debate is going to be a contentious one. Let's just hope that EVERYONE keeps an open mind to this.
