Just because she may state it as a fact, which I don't see by the way, that doesn't make it so, and you shouldn't take it as such. If anyone for that matter tells you something is a fact, do you take their word for it? And if you don't whats the reason to get so upset? If this was the same thing, but istead of gay, you insert black, wouldn't that be considered a hate group?? Whats with all the double standards???

Replace Gay with Black in the title, would that be considered a hate group?

Can't you see that you are doing the same thing?? This is why it just keeps going around in a circle, and people wonder where the end is, hello a circle doesn't have an end, it just keeps going as long as you spin it.

You want me to insert race into this. This is about the rights of everyone and not just what she deems superior.
If I were to say someone is a hate group, I'd, at least, show proof, footage or direct articles.
This is about allowing peaceful protests to happen even if it's a difference of opinion.
Grasping for attention, and no doubt to expand its donor base, the SPLC's recent report claims that the number of so-called "hate groups" has risen 4 percent since 2008 and over 50 percent since 2000. With great fanfare, they warn their own members and uncritical journalists of a "firestorm" of hate engulfing the land. Yet, the Southern Poverty Law Center offers no concrete information about these so-called "hate groups."

I tend to agree with her, unless you can provide information that this group dislikes Ellen for some other reason than she being gay.

So let me see if I have this clear, labeling the one million moms group as a hate group infringes on their rights?

The sad thing is the misinformation that people "hate" someone for being "gay". The majority of the people in the US don't "hate gays".
Please show me where this group hates Ellen for being gay.
What the rally is about, imo, is the infringement on parents who would rather not have homosexuality taught in schools, who would rather not have it pushed onto anyone.
Call it ignorance or whatever you like, .... until something you differ with is pushed onto you in such a way.
Can you see the difference between hating someone for being gay and hating something being pushed onto you?
There is a difference.

I can counter her SPLC so-called facts with this...
Annies actions and harsh opinion (not facts) is simply trying to silence the difference of opinion of anyone who speaks their own personal concerns.
She is not for equal rights, she's simply labeling a peaceful rally a "hate group" because they have an opinion that's not politically correct.
I want all people and groups to be able to rally (as long as they aren't infringing on the rights of other people).
Annie insists on slandering groups and claim it's a fact. In truth, it's opinion.
She'd rather have her pet group superior and anyone else with a difference of opinion is a "hate group"
Yes but its not being pushed onto them. Thats where the hate comes in. You can just choose not to go to JcPenny's, and choose to not watch her shows, your not forced to do anything. But this isn't enough, because these people really dislike the fact that shes gay, whats another word for really dislike, oh yeah hate.

I think the Million Mom's rally was not just a simple.... we hate gays and Ellen is gay.
Gay, straight or otherwise, when someone is constantly deep throated they being to say... enough is enough...
Maybe they think this is going to be more than just simply hiring Ellen on.
Maybe they think it's going to grow into something more.
But to be so incompetent as to create a title "...for being GAY" has only riled everyone. Note: I understand the OP didn't create the title, lol.
