in Here’s a surprise (not): Christian group calls for Google boycott over gay marriage support on The Inquisitr
Christians do no feel the way you have portrayed them - with hate signs, etc. That is NOT a true reflection of a Christian, and it's unfair to portray them as such.
Prop. 8 had nothing to do with intolerance or bigotry. The issue was in redefining the traditional word of "marriage" as we have known it through the centuries to mean....and along with that, the terminology of "husband and wife" in reference to "marriage." Had the Prop. passed, it would no longer be husband and wife, but partner 1 and partner 2. People have the freedom to live out their lives as they choose, to be together, to love, and certainly should have the right to get benefits like any other couple - legally, monetarily, etc. etc. But wanting a "different " lifestyle than the traditional norm should warrant a "different" terminology for that partnership. Just don't mix the two lifestyles so that the terminology confuses the relationship as if all relationships are the same - they are NOT. I'm not bigoted nor intolerant. I just want to be a wife and have a husband and not have to describe our relationship as partner 1 or 2.

There are extremeists in any religion; some fly planes into buildings, some picket soldiers' funerals, but the majority are normal folk who don't give a second thought to the casual cruelty they promote to anyone different from them when they assume that their version of 'normal' is the only version that counts.
