Response to Original message |
| 138. Well, for some there are simply certain core issues that they will not compromise on |
|
I will freely and gladly call anyone who did not come out against Prop 8 or anyone who did not condemn that asshole Warren's speaking at the inauguration a bigot, for example. If they don't like it, then tough. Get on the right side of a basic issue of civil rights.
Not saying that you are one way or another, but this is one issue in particular that people seem to whine about lately.
