You, on the other hand, are completely tolerant of those who believe that homosexuality is sin, right?
Actually, I respect any religious person's view that homosexuality is immoral and against their religious beliefs. One of the rights we have as Americans is the freedom to believe what we choose, including the belief that homosexuality is a sin.
I do not agree with using the government to foist a particular religious view (i.e. that homosexuality is wrong) upon everyone else in society. Usually, most religious folks want to do exactly that. So, we have a problem. It has nothing to do with me disrespecting their beliefs--I respect everyone's right to have whatever religious beliefs they wish. Rather, the problem lies in the presumption that their religious belief is superior and should be imposed on everyone else.
That's not my idea of a free republic, perhaps it is yours.

I dont get it... Am I allowed to put up a fight against skinheads? Black Panthers? Islamunism? Why cant I put up a fight against militant homosexuals? Why does this make me a hater even though I dont give a rats butt how they run their lives, its their onslaught on traditional values and minimizing people of faith for disagreeing in their historically unaccepted behavior. Why am I not allowed to defend my right to maintain traditional values that made this country great?
