I was against prop 8, it was stupid, but people act like it was going to throw members of the LGBT in prison or death camps or something.

- matthewmacleod 13y agoI've not seen any evidence of that, and I don't see what your point is. I mean, it did actively strip civil rights from LGBT people, and that's pretty bad…
- mpalmer 13y agoNot sure if you're a member of the LGBT community or not, but it sounds like your argument here is that because the reactions of others against Prop 8 were stronger than your own, they were invalid. It's not a very tenable position to take. Do you really believe the outcry over putting minorities in prison would parallel that of Prop 8?
- viggity 13y agoNo, I don't think they're invalid, I just think such strong visceral reactions are counterproductive. Prop 8 supporters and/or fence sitters are much less likely to have an open mind when someone is screaming at them that they're a bigot. Prop 8 supporters are wrong. Not Evil.
- mkessy 13y agoYeah the discrimination wasn't that bad, I mean those gays should just suck it up it's not like they were getting sent to an internment camp! Do they really need to get married anyway?
