Voting? Exercising civil rights? I...What's hate? Voting? Exercising civil rights? If someone feels that Proposition 8 is the best thing for them and their children, they have the right to vote for it. We have to respect that.<BR/><BR/>I've heard it said that the "persecutions" that the gays are experiencing as a result of Prop 8 are just like those against the Mormon church in the 19th and early 20th centuries.<BR/><BR/>Oh, but those actions were illegal--just one slight difference.<BR/><BR/>What would have happened if Prop 8 didn't pass? Would the pro's come over and say "hetero-haters"? Would they vandalize our homes and threaten anti-8's? Just because someone else holds an opinion that differs from ours, doesn't make them haters.<BR/><BR/>I saw a shirt recently that said, "I hate haters." The person wearing it must have a pretty low self-esteem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
