“Intolerance will not be tolerated.”

-South Park, “The Concentration Camp of Tolerance”

Are you, or have you ever been, a supporter of prop 8?

[SampleMan]

What intolerance? A gay man and a gay woman can get married just like any hetro couple.

Why Hollywood is torn on Prop. 8 activism

“If it don’t fit, don’t force it.”

One thing I’m grateful for is since Obama won none of the Hollywood stars will leave the US - go back to Canada or where ever ... especially Danny Glover ..../s/off

One of the best South Parks of all time.

Homosexuals want to affirmed in their fantasy that homosexuality is normal. It is not. It is a form of sexual perversion. Just because people have been had decades of “pride” about their perversion does not change that. The fact people can be “in love” in a same-sex relationship means very little in this debate, which the “gay” crowd seems to think. Or should we call them the “hate” crowd. They’re not very gay anymore.

“Cinemark is under siege because Chief Executive Alan Stock gave $9,999 to support the same-sex marriage ban. And in a sign of a powerful ripple effect, Sundance, perhaps the American institution that has done the most to support gay filmmakers and gay cinema, is being targeted because it screens films in a Cinemark theater.”

Whew, that’s a relief. I really feared that possibly Redford had gone round the bend and was actually supporting something worthwhile. Not to worry, though. Sundance is guilty merely because of whom it associates with (<<<hey, wait a minute here).

We always knew they were the thugs they accused us of being. And bigots. So why shouldn’t they show their true colors? Let the world know how they treat those who think differently then they do...

[Lizavetta]

Gays don't want equality or acceptance or tolerance.

What they want is absolutely no moral differentiation between their hookups and traditional marriage.

These are the people who have derided the evil of Blacklists for decades. Now they are blantently drawing up their own (before it was done in secret). Quite the hypocritical dilemmma. Of course, they’ll get around it by saying that its okay because their CAUSE IS JUST.

[Onelifetogive]

A gay man and a gay woman can get married just like any hetro couple.

But unlike homosexuals, heterosexuals can marry anyone they want...(unless it is against the law, like a sibling, or a parent, or a child, or someone underage, or two people at the same time...)

Nevermind...

Stinking fags, they wouldn't be pushing so hard for official acceptance if they weren't consumed with guilt over their own perversion and degradation. If they weren't so eaten up with guilt, they wouldn't need to have every "proof" of their acceptance within society that they can blackmail out of it. No matter, whatever "proofs" of their "normalcy" they extort out of the rest of us, they'll still turn right around and engage in the destructive promiscuity that proves their self-awareness of their deviancy and degradation. Nothing will change that, what will they push for when they've gotten the ultimate official sanction and they still hate themselves?

[television is just wrong]

forget blacklisting gay people, they are not the problem, the problem is the communists hiding in hollywood.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This is great. It’s nice to see the Hollywood idiots torn on the moral preaching they engage in on some issues. Same-sex marriage has been a cause which almost all Hollywood idiots are in favor of, just as almost all are in favor of fighting global warming. It’s nice to see that they have some nuances to deal with. Not everything is a black white issue.

The Left views all of us as bigots and wants those who believe in God and in traditional values as needing to be put in their place. Its ugly and its going to get worse. I for my part, will never give in!

[goldstategop]

The radical gay activists will be tolerant as long as you shut up and keep your comments about their perverted lifestyle to yourself. If you choose to make yourself heard, all that talk about celebrating diversity and tolerance dies aborning. You are entitled to say what you want - as long as you agree with them.
