Random Hate From Around The Globe


Just in case we forgot that the battle for acceptance continues here are a few stories about intolerance and hate from around the globe.

On the positive side were fighting back. I don’t know if I completely agree with the tactics of Know Thy Neighbor, but I give them credit for standing up for all of us. A very vocal religious group going by the name of Florida 4 Marriage has been amassing name on petitions to prevent gays and lesbians from obtaining the basic human right of marriage. Know Thy Neighbor thinks that if you believe strongly enough that you would deny a minority basic human rights that its fair game to have your name and address published. All the names are a matter of public record. I think, if you believe strongly enough in your stance against basic human rights, then you shouldn’t have a problem with your neighbors knowing how you feel.
