“I simply don’t understand the mind-set that believed the gay community would just quietly fade away and accept defeat”
I never expected them to accept defeat.
I fully expected them to riot, chased blacks down in the street and scream “ni**er” at them.
I fully expected them to harrass churches - to attempt to intimidate them.
I also expected them to riot and picket outside of businesses so the owners would suffer financial loss and even have to leave town.
Why did I expect this? Because that is their track record.
“I abhor censorship of free speech...it has been attempted against my FRiends and myself many times on FR.”
Well then, may I suggest you take another look-see at the OP and closely scrutinize what the ad was all about?
It looks to me like the ad is saying the mormons shouldn’t have been allowed to participate in the political process.
” I suppose you would censor THAT, too?”
I’ve never said anything of the sort.
I am amused that you are seeing hatred coming from everywhere else EXCEPT from the radical homosexual activists, who - in my opinion - are experts at hatemongering.
I am amused that you think you are reading my mind by painting my upholding the rights of US citizens as abhorrent.
I'm wasting no more time on this conversation with you.
