When I was living in Vancouver, BC a few yearsback, I learned that it was that supposedly-tolerant city wherein was invented the technique of sticking a tube up athe nose of a suspected gay before beating his face to a pulb, so as to avoid a murder rap if he died from aspirating, and choking on, his own blood.

I suspect she would find that “generous” on the part of the attackers. And then make a snark, or a joke, of those who disagreed with that assessment.

Joseph,

Thanks so much for your thoughts and facts. As I’ve been trying to do here, you’ve given us more ammunition to battle ignorance and homophobia. I think we win this battle one mind at a time. Congratulations! I hope you’ll come back and share more of your thoughts often.

Some wonder why the backlash to the passing of Prop 8 is so intense and widespread. It can’t really just be about wedding cakes and matching tuxedos, can it? No. Here’s another reason: Gays are third most likely to be victims of hate crimes (after Blacks and Jews), and Gays are first most likely of any group to be murdered in a hate crime. (see FBI stats: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2007/incidents.htm). Gay teens are 3 times more likely than straight kids to commit suicide, to be kicked out of their homes, and to become child street prostitutes to survive. Hate crimes and neglect thrive in an environment of bigotry and marginalization and Prop 8 shows that active, aggressive, invasive intolerance is OK; that hate against this minority is OK. This is the legacy of those who support(ed) Prop 8. This is your respect for American liberties. This is your Christian love.

Some also wonder why individuals and companies who support(ed) Prop 8 are being “outed” and economically targeted. The tactics of public pressure and boycott are tried and true means of peaceful civil rights resistance (e.g. Montgomery Bus Boycott). When you take rights away from Americans (even gays) they tend to get angry and do something. Tea party in the harbor anyone?
