Gay Marriage Opponents Get a Taste of their Own Meidicine

Isn't it absolutely hilarious when the discriminators cry out about discrimination or being intimidated for their views on a certain subject? Right now in California, some people who supposed Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that re-relegated an entire group of people to second-class citizenship because of what turns them on, are complaining that they are being discriminated against!

I guess I'd have more pity for these people if I wasn't aware of the incredibly painful irony here and the fact that, in so many places in this country, you could easily substitute "prop-8 supporter" with "homosexual" and the discrimination would be a hundred times worse, like not being allowed to marry the person you love.

Also, I'm sure I'm not the only person here who has heard the following statement from someone: "I don't hate gay people, but..." followed by something equally puzzling, like:

1. Homosexuality is a sin/"hate the sin love the sinner" blah blah blah blah....
2. Marriage is a sacred institution (That ends before death do us part over 50% of the time)
3. Allowing gay marriage will also force you down the slippery slope and before you know it, sibilings and sheep will be getting married (although I'm sure some gay-hating rednecks would approve of that.)
   

If you ask me, it's a classic case of having your cake and eating it. "I don't dislike gay people but I think their lifestyle is abomination" is akin to saying "I like Milton Friedman's economic ideas but I hate the free market". And I know what all the righties are going to say: "BUT AREN'T YOU NOW DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US BLAH BLAH BLAH CRY." No, we're encouraging you to get over your own sexual insecurities and join the 21st century already. 50 years ago, konservatives were saying the same thing about how black people should just accept second-class citizenry. Their arguments are almost carbon copies of each other, just substitute "f*****s" for "n*****s".
