It amazes me that a group that preaches tolerance is so intolerant. Gays, you need to understand that people have a right to disagree with your lifestyle, and the vast majority of americans do.

From the bottom of my heart I pray to God that every bigot here may have at least one gay child. Amen.

In the spirit of inclusiveness and big tent policy I suggest Obama invite White Supremacist to the White House for his inauguration.

When will you people ever understand? It’s so depressing to me. I’m gay. I did not choose this. I am not a pervert pedophile, or freak. I’m an average American living my life. My coworkers know I’m gay and are supportive. Their political idealogies range from ultra conservative to screaming liberals. They knew me as a person before knowing I was gay. When I told them they had lots of questions but are not totally supportive End of story. How very sad that in 2008 there are those who still harbor such views. Do you not think there are gays in your family? In your church? Your friends? For God sake people, open your minds before you are just another ignorant cog in the wheel of history along with all the other intolerant people throughout millenia.

We are ONE people. We’ve just elected a man who has promised to be president of ALL the people. I certainly do not agree with Rick Warren’s support of Proposition 8. I’m a white hetero-male who along with millions voted against it! And I’m also working alongside millions to undo it! I probably don’t agree with most of what Rick Warren represents. But I do support the inclusion of all LGBT persons under the full rights guaranteed under the Constitution. We don’t always get what we want. This is a mere skirmish. The real war lies ahead.
We’re just now beginning a new day in America when the politics of personal villification and rank divisiveness will become a thing of the past. We’ve all been in the dark and scary wilderness for so long that we can’t even recognize the greatness that lies within us all. There is going to be a dramatic difference in the way governance unfolds over the next eight years. This is a “symbolic” thing. Beware the deification of symbolism. No one gets hurt here. There are far bigger battles ahead. Keep your powder dry. Everything’s gonna be alright. This would not have been my choice either. But it’s also not always about how we act, but how we react.

I am so tired of gay people crying all the time. Why can’t we get married! Why can’t Obama have an all gay cabinet! Why do people make fun of us? Admit it people, Obama used you and then he moved on. No one really cares about gay people, they just want the votes. After that the line is cut and you are on your own to go stick it up the butt somewhere else.

Mark said gays are the only minority not covered by the equal protection clause. Rubbish. There are scads of minorities not covered by the equal protection clause: people who pick their noses at traffic lights, varnish-can collectors, pig farmers who wear boxer shorts, to name a few. Not EVERY single behavior warrants government approval and “protection”. Maybe Obama is just trying to show a little support for a minority that lately needs real protection (protection from bodily harm)–those California citizens who exercised a protected right of free speech by refusing to grant the gay community’s childish and petulant demands for unnecessary legal approval and acceptance, which is exactly what this fight is all about. It’s not about marriage at all–it’s about silencing anyone (like Rick Warren) who even suggests that wholesale approval and “normalization” of homosexuality might not be the best thing. Shut ‘em up, shout ‘em down, hang ‘em high–the gay lobby strategy in a nutshell.

Ofcourse I wasn’t fool enough to donate to the Obama campaign. ;-)
