What I have seen is a lot of idiots voting to remove a right from a minority. That is not acceptable in any democracy.

Yes, let's get them, these gays and their gay businesses! They are bad, bad people, ALL of them! Quick, get the paint buckets!
See, this is where I don't get it. It's ok for the gays to go after other businesses but it's not ok to go after gay businesses? When you use the same exact tactics that are used by the gays, it is like being a Nazi or something. Aren't the gays being the Nazis by going after the Mormons?

The reason such a boycott would fail is because the underlying principle of the action is silly. A few homosexuals protested in an aggressive manner to try and help pass some legislation. It is then a far leap to want to boycott all companies that are in some way shape or form “gay.”

Tomorrow, maybe the blacks and hispanics, or maybe your business or your neighbors. They railroaded one of our best entertainment industry persons in Sacramento right out of his 25 year career when they found out he was for Prop 8. They also interrupt meetings here of anyone they deem is anti-gay by coming to the meeting and making so much noise that no speakers can talk.
I hate to suggest lowering myself to these standards, but they are effectively intimidating select groups. For example, the media is distinctly pro-gay, as is the entertainment industry in general.
I consider it very unfriendly they way the "act up" against others, spreading claims and using buzz-words like "homophobic" to get their way.
What do you think of the idea that turnabout is fair play? What if we were to identify the gay businesses and businesses that support gays and boycott them? Seems fair to me, what do you think?
This would be a particularly effective time to boycott a business, since the economy is having a tough time anyway. Maybe the gay movement could get a little friendlier if their livelihoods were threatened.

Supposedly, gays are a small percentage of society. Additionally, that small percentage wants to feel like they are a very big percentage, and have impact.

Why don't you see that it is fair to do the same back to them? Why are you defending their tactics to discriminate against supporters of Prop 8? Why are you prejudiced against Prop 8 supporters? Why are you heterophobic?
See, it hurts when the terms commonly used by the homosexual movement are reversed on you.
I think people have blinders on. They have heard the gay movement bash the heterosexuals so long ('breeders') they are used to it, and the media is used to it. How do you think it would work out if the blacks were called 'breeders' or the latinos?

And again you have shown your ignorance.
You are making a very big assumption about "morality".
I see hatred against others who's choices do not affect you as immoral. I see religious fanatics trying to impose their will on others as immoral.
Morality is subjective, and not voted on by the masses.
See previous posts for the actual facts, they've been stated several times, but you refuse to accept them.
As such, it is pointless debating with the ignorant.

Why don't we boycott something that's actually affecting all of us as a whole? Big banks monopolizing all of the financial resources, or boycotting archaic power plants by making your house energy indee]
Luckily, I can do more than one thing at a time. However, that would be on another thread. This one is focused on homosexual pressure being returned back upon them.

"who's choices do not affect you" is an interesting assumption, not borne out by the news. Go to your local school library, see if you can find the books about homosexuals. See what moral training about homosexual tolerance is being taught in schools---a religious teaching. Separation of church and state is not promoted in this case by the homosexual movement. They want the teaching in schools to change the opinions of young minds, the future of America, to accept perverted behavior.

Perverted behavior? Can you please define that?
Is the act of love a perverted behavior?

You are so incredibly wrong in every way possible!
Tolerance is being taught in schools.
You cannot "make" a person gay!
You are so terrified of gay people "changing" your children that you've lost all intelligence and reason.
Children are being taught to respect people and their right to live how they wish.

Fact, Christianity refusing the use of condoms in regions of Africa has caused the rampant spread of HIV and AIDS globally.
Young heterosexualpeople are sleeping with each other indiscriminately on a scale never before seen in Human history. More often than not they are not using any protection.
This is a global problem brought about by religious rule and general irresponsibility, it has nothing to do with homosexuality, at all.
Again, I feel you are doing most of the work in discrediting your intelligence and opinions for me. I really don't need to say much else.
It's an easy argument when your opponent is so obviously sans intellect.
Fair is fair, right?
Def. of perverse: willfully determined not to do what is expected or desired; contrary. Turned away from what is right, good, or proper; wicked.
