Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
Little Hawk, you object to my tone, but you don't actually respond to what I said.

What is your definition of bigot?

In what way is denying basic rights to gay people not bigoted?

Can you refute the statement that any conversation about homosexuality is a conversation about what other people do in bed?

Do you know that most of society thinks that kind of interest in other peoples' sex lives is sick?

Would you be taking the tone you are if the discussion was about blacks or women?

Do you think gay people should have the same rights as everyone else?

You can disparage my tone all you want -- I am certainly sick of yours on this topic -- but you should also explain yourself better than by saying "I know they aren't bigots". You sound a bit like George Bush looking into Putin's eyes and "knowing" the man.

Yes, I'm asking you to take a stand on this issue. Don's story from the 60s fits you like a glove. You sound like one of those who stood back and let McCarthy run wild in the 50s.
