Robb and Robin Wirthlin’s Story (via ProtectMarriage.com)
“No longer is it okay to disagree. If you disagree with a particular lifestyle or behavior, you are now wrong, you are now bigoted. It’s no longer a difference of opinion. You are wrong.”
Um … yeah. You ARE wrong. The idea of there always being “two sides” to one issue is an illogical and largely American mindset.
Since when does a stupid nothing anecdote constitute a “story”, protectmarriage.com? I mean, if you’re going to feature “stories” about what gay marriage will do to our society, shouldn’t someone at least have lost a limb or something? Something traumatic and melodramatic that we can see reenacted like on Unsolved Mysteries? I was so bored by Robb and Robin (BTW, what is with the vestigal “b”, Robb? What’s it for?).
I agree that schools should notify parents when they’re going to start having dialogues with kids about sexuality, so that the parents can be prepared to dialogue with their kids about what they learned in their own home, but do these people honestly think that a children’s book is going to make their kid gay? Also, how do you teach about homosexuality in math classes? I don’t get it.
I don’t think these people want their child to have a “protected childhood”. I think they want to shelter them and teach them their close-minded beliefs.
Sometimes I can’t believe people. I could NEVER vote to support governmental discrimination. Vote NO on Prop 8. Protect EQUALITY!
