Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
It's not you I'm talking about, Amos. It's the people who make an actual full time career out of raising hell over this one issue that I'm talking about. They are the people who dominate the issue in the national media and they are the main force driving the hostility that is brought to bear around the debate.

Anita Bryant, for example, was one such person...on the anti-homosexual side of the argument. She was the natural antagonist of people a lot like her on the other side of the argument....zealots...both sides bolstered with their own utter certainty of their moral superiority, their love for justice, and the rightness of their cause.

That's who I'm referring to as "zealots"...I am not referring to you or to someone else on this forum. We're just some people engaging in chit chat here.
