Reply #56: Gee, how much more 'not nice' can they get, hope it backfires like it did at a local park here

Lets see here, when you already call gays an abomination, think it's ok to do hate crimes against gays (I mean what else can you conclude by their opposition to including gays as a group protected by hate crimes), and treat gays like a pariah how much less 'nice' can you get?

The religious right would be wise to observe that in the media age being too cruel and mean can blow up in your face. A few years ago in my area there was a group of antigay people who ended up making their side looking really bad in the news. You see there was a public park where a church had paid money years ago to put a big statue of the ten commandments. So the antigay people wanted to put up statues saying some really horrible stuff about gay people, stuff so awful they even disgusted local churches who didn't favor stuff like gay marriage. The antigay people sued and got a court to rule that the park had to allow all speech in the statues or none. So then the church willingly moved it's statue of the ten commandments onto their own property so the park wouldn't have to let others put up statues saying really hateful things. So in the end lots of locals were really disgusted by the antigay bigots, and the antigay bigots failed to accomplish anything meaningful, except ironically pushing religion out of public parks in the area.
