So much has happened since my last post, and so many people have spoken about it all more eloquently than I could. But I have to respond to this.
Via Time.com, a quote by Frank Schubert, campaign manager for Yes on 8:
"No matter what you think of Proposition 8, we ought to respect people's right to participate in the political process. It strikes me as quite ironic that a group of people who demand tolerance and who claim to be for civil rights are so willing to be intolerant and trample on other people's civil rights."
This is total bullshit, and somebody needs to say so to this douchebag's face. Intolerance of intolerance is a virtue.
Needlessly trampling the civil rights of others is not itself a civil right. If you want to treat people badly because you're insecure, fine, do it. But you'd better be willing to face the consequences when people point out that you're being an asshole and stop patronizing your business.
