...but please do not support a state silencing the opinion of those who believe they are standing up for what is right and proper.

Would you say the same if these were NAMBLA protestors or purveyors of child pornography or bestiality supporters?

Selling child pornography is not redress of government or agitation for reform. I'm not even sure an argument could be made that purveying it is political speech rather than abusive action. An ideological pedophile is not a concept I can understand even in a hypothetical. I guess you could try but I'm not sure you'll succeed.

As far as the rest... They are seeking laws to be changed. We should resist that change. We should say “No!” at every opportunity. We should raise our children to understand why we reject these things and why they should as well. We should feel free to vote with our feet anywhere they succeed.

I don't think we should make it illegal to express their opinion and say what laws they think should change. Bill me as a Nmbla (sp?) supporter instead of a free speech absolutist but know that I'm really supporting speech.
