(45,319 posts)Those haters are present because the 'faith community' is comfortable seeing not just hate mongering toward others in the name of their savior, but they are also comfortable remaining silent in the face of that bullshit done in their name. The fact that your concern is that people of faith might face criticism, not that people who face daily legal discrimination were attacked in their name is telling. Dolan bashed gay people on TV as a representative of the Christians, and unless they make it clear that they are not in agreement with him they are in fact agreeing with him. They need to organize, they should have stood up against Dolan last week, but instead they rationalized and excused and laid blame on gay people for defending ourselves from those representing the faith community.
