Showing Original Post only (View all)A message to anyone who doesn't support gay marriage. [View all]
I'm not mincing words here. I'm 21 and my generation will be the grave diggers for all your bigotry and hate. Enjoy your probable victory in North Carolina, but remember when you are dead the disgusting prejudice that you disguise as faith dies with you.
Savor your last few years of relevance, because you'll spend eternity spinning in your grave.

I agree. And we have no national leaders to lead the charge of the public shaming of bigots.
