Can you be sure that many are not already doing that?

NDT knows the people who are trying to eliminate HIV, his being one of them. As for eliminating meth, that will never happen as long as people coddle each other with the 12 steps instead of taking a rational approach to fighting addiction. As for public and/or promiscuous sex, let’s say I haven’t seen too many “Gay Men for Appropriate Sexuality” groups lately, and know they would be pilloried and possibly attacked, if they existed. Personal example would be the way to go there – and calling the nonsense ‘nonsense’, as the opportunity arises.

don’t we want more than tolerance? I want acceptance

Nope. In fact, ‘acceptance’ a pretty pathetic thing to want. Where’s your independence? Your dignity? In wanting or demanding that others ‘accept’ you, you’re putting them at the mercy of others – plus your happiness as well. You’re announcing (whether you intend it this way or not) that you are going to play the victim role in life, until and unless you’ve extorted from others a respect they don’t feel. Blech!!!

Great idea. Can you be sure that many are not already doing that?

And the pathway to that, as we’ve seen this week: assaulting little old ladies, vandalizing churches, namecalling religious people, and disrupting Sunday services.

Next we’re going for “Punish Your Employer For Hiring A Gay Person Day”.

How about instead of blocking traffic, littering the landscape with ugly signs, and acting out every little bit of antireligious and anti-American bigotry that the gay community and International ANSWER can dream up, you start putting some of that energy into….oh, I don’t know……eliminating HIV? Maybe driving out crystal meth use? Stupid public and promiscuous sex?

most of the saturday’s protests were peaceful, an inconvenient fact that simply doesn’t fit into malkin’s narrative. but it is up to us to control how our movement is depicted in the media. we shouldn’t let the right-wing portray us inaccurately by describing us as an “insane mob.” as a starting point, we need to constantly remind the general public who the real victims of prop 8 are–gay couples and their families who are relegated to second-class citizenship–and not the religious organizations that donated massive amounts of cash in support of prop 8. similarly, we should be stewards of our gay brothers and sisters who would use our movement as a vehicle for radical activism.

My, how you’ve become plural lately.

Wow. You’ve adopted the sheeple mindset far quicker than I would have imagined. Cybil I am not and neither are you Miss Cleo.

Any other tricks you’ve absorbed you’d care to trot out for all of us to enjoy?

“…assuming facts not in evidence…” such as “…The far right has been using this tactic for quite awhile now with narry [sic] a peep of criticism…” ?

My, how you’ve become plural lately.

#12 All I’ve done is point out one of your lies. Your tactic (lie) is similar to all those media folk who waxed poetic re. John McCain’s concession speech, saying “Now this is the John McCain I once knew and respected!” You’re full of the same b.s.

Iggy, you have the same smarmy attitude of the MSM in assuming facts about people not in evidence and spinning whatever the latest meme is. Did you even do a search of my blog on Malkin before levelling such a charge?

Instead of bullying the electorate, the gay community needs to calmly make their case, ask for support, and bring it to a vote as many times as it takes. If the Christians are wrong to proselytize without actually getting to know their neighbors, well, the gays are also wrong to browbeat, intimidate, or ruin others, instead of working within the democratic process.

Sadly, you and your ilk will be viewed as modern-day Strom Thurmonds. Bigotry is wrong, period.
