Excerpt of an email I received from Equality California. WTF is the matter with those people! Is there no end to their hypocrisy?

Yesterday, the leadership of Yes on Prop 8 filed a lawsuit in federal court to void a voter-passed proposition that requires the disclosure of information for people who donate more than $100 to a campaign. They claim their donors have been victimized for bankrolling the ban on marriage for LGBT couples.

Their hypocrisy is shocking.

This is the same "leadership" that sent menacing letters to Equality California donors and corporate sponsors, threatening to "expose" them if they did not make a similar donation to the Yes on 8 campaign.

This is the same "leadership" that filed briefs in the California Supreme Court that argue that the voter-passed proposition cannot--and should not--be overturned by a court.

For decades LGBT activists have stood proud, risking their jobs and safety for fighting intolerance. We've never asked for anything less than equality and now they want special rights.
 
No darling, there is no end to their hypocrisy.

As Rob said in some other thread, these people confuse "Freedom" with "Something for nothing."

No Stella,

These people confuse Freedom for all with Freedom for themselves and the controll of those who don't feel the same way.

ie. You are free to believe however you want as long as it conforms to my way of thinking.

It's actually simple.

"People" like this vehemently defend free speech and free choice as long as it matches their agenda.

Disagree with them and you are a bigot/raceist/commie.

And they perfectly justified in working outside the law because they are doing God's work.

I thought God was all about love, did they forget that?
 
Their god is still stuck in the Bronze Age and more concerned with smiting and vengence than loving your neighbor as yourself.

Yanno, I don't need them to love their neighbors. I don't love mine-- well actually, I do, but just the one houseful. :D

What I do want, is that they stop hating their neighbors. And in fact, I don't care much about their emotional outlook towards their neighbors at all-- they need to stop meddling in the lives of their neighbors.

In order to do that, they have to stop fearing their neighbors. I know that this sounds crazy but they actually believe that in this society, the one that makes being gay odious, dangerous and outcast, they actually think that someone chooses same-sex orientation. Who in their right mind, if given a choice, would, given the circumstances involved? And lesbians and gays only make up at most 4% of the population. What in the world is there to be afraid of? But they're terrified, just terrified.
 
Two-headed snakes are occasionally interesting, but if having 2 heads was beneficial, there'd be more of them.
 
I found this on the Humor thread and It seems approprete here.

No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously

Good Evening all and :kiss::kiss: all around.:rose:

But this isn't funny.

This legislation is ruining peoples' lives.

Leave it on the humor thread, hmm?

God is only about love as long as you are like them. Otherwise you must be oppressed or forced to conform.

Their bible is a-la-carte as well, they only have to follow the parts they like.
 
I feel the need to clarify something.

In the posts above, I am not referring to Christians/Mormons.

I am talking about assholes who wrap themselves in the mantle of Christianity/Mormonism and claim to be Christians/Mormons.

There is a difference.

Don't worry. We get that. True Christians convert other people by actions - showing the world what a selfless, loving creed it is. I know maybe two true Christians. All the rest just wanna be part of a gang.
 
What is kinda weird is I hope those asshole succeed. If they over turn the >$100 reporting proposition it will do two things:

1. Contributors of >$100 to GLBT campaigns won't have to worry about being targeted by the fundie mf'ers (who are not just voting with their pocket books but are directly harassing individuals)

2. They are reinforcing a precedent that the court can and should over turn unfair propositions if they are ethically and morally wrong.
 
Freedom and equality for all!!!......... as long as they're Straight White Anglo-Saxon Protestant men.
