81. Not true at all... tolerance and bigotry are not antonyms nor synonyms
As for my mosaic, I'd say that you really are the master at picking words out of context.

And the fight was not a mistake. The RW took the issue and made it into a mammoth that did not at all represent the true entity. They would have done this no matter what words were used. How could the gay community have possibly stopped the couples in Massachusetts from going forward with a case they put forth years ago? What purpose would that have served?

As for a straight Mayor in San Francisco interpreting the law as he saw it, how does that tarnish the gay community? Should the gay community have lobbied those 3,000+ couples who went to San Francisco to be married to NOT do it? What purpose would have have served?

Other than these isolated incidents, I don't see what organized "fight" you are referring to, other than the fight from the other side.

And why do you keep personalizing the insults in your posts to me? I am not doing that to you.
