Gay Rights VS. Religion

It is said that "Argument from intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence." This article talks about how gay-rights “mobs” refuse to tolerate disagreement. Instead they single out and attack people who don’t agree with them. The media showed a movie in support of same sex marriage called "Prop. 8: The Musical” that did nothing more mock Jesus, The Bible, and Christians. Clearly this is an ineffective way to win supporters. In today’s society, statistics show that younger voters are far more likely to vote for gay marriages compared to adults. “61 percent of voters over 65 supported Prop. 8, while 61 percent of people under 30 voted against it.”
One photographer was sued because she would not take pictures for a gay couple at their “ceremony.” Activists have vandalized Churches and Mormon temples. A Methodist camp in New Jersey lost its tax exemption because it told a gay couple they couldn’t hold their ceremony in any building used for religious services.
Regardless of what kind of activists someone is, one should reconsider resorting to political measures and forcing people out of jobs, etc. for simply disagreeing or holding a different religious belief than themselves. As the article claims, “their campaign of intimidation has been the best thing that could happen to proponents of traditional marriage.”
