So goes the logic of this nitwit who asks about the poor victims of the "Gay enemies list". :eyes:

4. They're really coming out of the woodwork lately
All that "Gee, do you think this is a good idea to be persecuting those poor Yes on 8 people? I mean I support you but you should be nice to them instead and all..." crap. Do they think we're that effing stupid?

6. There was one earlier today who went on and on and then burnt out and started calling us fags.
Then he told us we'd get AIDS.

Then he got Tombstoned.

This guy in LBN is similar in the build up.

37. Well-coordinated, but dumb. They made a serious tactical error.
Unfortunately, I think they recognize it too, and they won't make that mistake again.

11. Anything to try to silence us
Make us feel bad for demanding what is rightfully ours (what they have no authority to withhold in the first place) and force us back into submission. It won't work any more.

20. "Please do not use profanity while arguing with me"
:eyes:

Seriously, just because he can say the same exact thing ad infinitum, does not mean he is actually winning the argument.

26. The irony there is that he says "I don't need to defend myself"
Yet by saying that we should employ a different tactic than boycotting, he's insinuating that we ought to defend ourselves by somehow explaining ourselves to others and lobbying for their support, instead of punishing them for treating us with bigotry. I say No to that. I've been too nice for too long.

I'm done defending myself and explaining myself to straight people. It DOES NOT WORK.

27. So, let's translate what he was trying to say in that post of his.
Don't boycott, don't get angry, don't do a goddamned thing. And those Mormons and other sponsors of Prop 8 will eventually come around.

29. Good Grief
I don't want to give any of my money, business, time or energy to those who support hate and would take civil rights away.

Those people condoned hate and now are whining. They deserve everything they get.

32. i am fucking sick and tired of the fucking excuses
we cant boycott because we have to respect freedom of opinion

we cant criticize because we have to respect religion

we cant do anything that helps us if the poor downtrodden majority have to suffer

such bullshit apologists of hate and bigotry

33. I wonder what happened to our freedom to the opinion...
...that we should not financial support hate? Oh yeah, I guess that ended up in the same place our civil rights did.

35. They don't give respect to people
So why should we respect their religion?

Their claims of "oppression" are bull. A minority simply cannot oppress a majority.

We're doing nothing illegal and we're only using some of the exact same tactics they do (the AFA boycotts a different company every month after all). Their cries of persecution are disingenuous as is everything else they say.

They can go screw themselves.
