They said Proposition 8 would promote hatred

And they were right.

....

Blacks and Mormons have been the main targets of the gay activists' anger. Seventy percent of blacks voted against gay marriage in California, so racial epithets were hurled at blacks in Los Angeles — not in black neighborhoods, by the way.

 

Blacks who just happened to be driving through Westwood, near UCLA, were accosted in their cars and, in addition to being denounced, were warned, "You better watch your back."

 

Even blacks who were carrying signs in favor of gay marriage were denounced with racial epithets.

....

In Oakland, California, a mob gathered outside a Mormon temple in such numbers that officials shut down a nearby freeway exit for more than three hours.

 

In their midst was a San Francisco Supervisor who said "The Mormon church has had to rely on our tolerance in the past, to be able to express their beliefs." He added, "This is a huge mistake for them. It looks like they've forgotten some lessons."

 

Apparently Mormons don't have the same rights as other Americans, at least not if they don't vote the way gay activists want them to vote.

....

Nobody is in favor of anarchy. But some people want everybody else to obey the rules, while they don't have to.

 

What they want is not decisive, however. It is what other people are willing to tolerate that determines how far any group can go.

 

When the majority of the people become like sheep, who will tolerate intolerance rather than make a fuss, then there is no limit to how far any group will go.
