That’s one way to go

Gay Patriot links to this video of “No on 8″ supporters shouting down an elderly woman and stomping on her cross, and asks:
Why this refusal to understand their opponents? Why this insistence on silencing them? Do such people deserve the privilege of state sanction of their unions?
I never understood this either. Generally when you are trying to accomplish something politically, you court opposition. In the case of gay marriage, the strategy seems to be insult, denigrate, silence and shame opposition into supporting the cause. Why would anyone even consider supporting the cause of a group, a cause based on a call for tolerance and respect, when the movement shows absolutely no tolerance or respect for others.
If this is what we can expect every time a traditional marriage measure passes, we can expect them to pass for a very long time.
The fact that the proposition passed shows absolutely no respect for others and while I don’t agree with any stupid behavior on either side, the entire thing should be ended with the right to have a union permitted to anyone. Religious “values” have no business impacting the rights of anyone in this country.
I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is more religious values.
