Vandals damage pro-gay Catholic church
8 comments | Read story
We've already seen it with Mormons, where they ran the gamut from outing $75 donors for Prop. 8 to graffiti-ing the L.A. Temple. They picketed my meetinghouse in S.F., no doubt totally ignorant of the singles ward there that has made quilts, kits, and other things for AIDS patients.
This is a hate crime. Mayor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Jerry Brown will never say so, because they are in the pocket of the same-sex special-interest group. If a swastika appeared on a gay-rights office, Newsom and Brown would be all over it like ants at a picnic, making bombastic statements on TV, calling in every possible law enforcement agency, and "assuring the community that this heinous act of bigotry will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
There has never been nor will there ever be a society in which some members don't try to, as you say, 'force their beliefs on everybody else'. The benefits of living in a democracy is that there is recourse for those who disagree with the decision. Some times, however, the majority speaks and the minority must either accept it or attempt to influence policy making through the appropriate means.
I expect robust debate but vandalism is a crime and is not an appropriate response to a differing opinion.
When a religious bigot damages a gay Church and you all distance yourselves and say 1 bad apple doesn't spoil the barrel!
Hypocrites. Your religious bigotry gives these fanatics the justification for their horrible actions!
What I have a problem with is the majority telling the minority how they should live. I hear the argument over prop 8 that the majority has spoken. If it were up to the majority in the South during the Civil Rights Era segregation may still exist. It is the courts that should decide. Our elected officials are there to make sure that the majority does not overrule the minority. That is what our country was founded on not souly on majority rule. What a shame it is that bigotry, hate, and discrimination still exist and even more shameful is Mormon's who have had that hate, bigotry, and discrimination against them think that it is okay to do it to others.
