After all, they didn nothing but mobilize to regulate gays into second-class citizenship.
Hate speech = opinions you don't agree with.
Video = lazy drive-by media quoting some idiot who's not even in the LDS church.
Elton John--who is gay--wondered aloud at the vehemence of these militant gays. He pointed out civil unions confer the same rights as marriage and therefore couldn't understand the fuss.
TLF.

No he didn't.
TLF = Typical Liberal Fascism.
Liberal fascism makes about as much sense as fireproof matches?

So I assume you think "equal rights" is hate speech then?
what's with this fucking jargon all the time, america? i fucking hate it.
Fuck religion.
n.
Bigoted speech attacking or disparaging a social or ethnic group or a member of such a group.
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition
It isn't the term "hate speech" that is used too often. It is the act of using "hate speech" that happens too often. On the internet, where there are far fewer inhibitions, people let that shit fly.
And when a church teaches that gays are an abomination, that is in fact hate speech.
It'd be a hell of an uphill battle, but even if the only thing to come out of it were some intelligent discussions regarding the intent and meaning of separation of church and state, and discussions regarding the history and meaning and future of marriage... well, I think that'd be a valuable thing for society going forward.
