and there's also something sickening to me about people purposely rubbing it in against people with religious beliefs. They could have gone to another place and gotten married, there is probably an established business segment that specializes in marrying gay people. Instead, they chose to try to bully the Ministers with the threat of state-sanctioned court action, jail time, and public shaming. It shows a lack of class...
It's a longstanding policy with the Left to perform the same sketchy political practices that the Right indulge in, and then attempt to claim the moral high ground. You'd think that gay rights activists, feminists, and more left winged individuals would be all for the rights of the individual and such. Especially concerning their whole political philosophy. Yet these individuals tend to be just as bigoted and intolerant of those that don't agree with their assessment, as the more radical individuals are who hate them. xD You can't breed tolerance with intolerance. It's a hypocritical viewpoint that many people hold and practice every day. You can't have an equal society by replacing one hated denomination of people (Homosexuals, Historically Feminists, etc.) with another group, (Conservative Christians). There is hate tactics and propaganda spread through the news that does this every day.
Also to note, I'm actually a Leftist myself. I'm a heterosexual white male, with a Christian upbringing but a more athiest/agnostic viewpoint. It differs. I'm just not afraid to call bullshit. It doesn't matter what side of the political line it falls behind.
