Good. Because anyone who holds the opinion that some ought be denied basic human rights do not deserve tolerance.
Homosexual marriage has never been deemed a basic human right historically. Freedom of speech on the other hand is, as is religious freedom, which homosexuals in my state have shown zero respect for. I don't quite understand how you think vandalism and other such acts help your cause any.
Indeed. It's astounding that cave communities like that still exist. But hey, apparently they have embraced the idea of electricity or otherwise, they wouldn't be able to be on this forum.
“'Free speech is just about dead in some parts of Portland,' said TFP Student Action Director John Ritchie. 'Every time our volunteers put up yard signs in favor of traditional marriage on Congress Street, pro-homosexual advocates damaged or destroyed them. In less than five minutes, the signs were all vandalized. When new ones went up, those were trashed too,' he said. 'We found zero tolerance. Zero fairness. Zero free speech.'”
Looks like not everyone is willing or able to be like Gandhi when it comes to dealing with oppressors. More of a Mandela approach in fighting the homosexual equivalent of the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act , I suppose.

The Supreme Court says marriage is a civil right, and since we're talking about marriage as it exists in civil law, they're word is the last, until and unless they reverse themselves. The 14th Amendment says equal protection. Ergo, you will lose, it's not if, just when.
