These things (among a thousand of others) are making me hate liberals and gay activists and the same 'holier than thou' type of people.

And they're so unaware of their hypocrisy that it's pathetic.

Wtf? Explain.

 

 

 

Here is where they show their hypocrisy. They scream and cry out for their 'liberalism' and "equality" but when someone believes that marriage should only be between a man and a woman they start to boo you and call you a bigot and an idiot, and a homophobe and a "bible-toter" and all that other bull. It's really disgusting.

I think it's worse than hypocrisy though, I think those people (gay rights activists and such) are just wicked and revolting in the way they think, but that's besides the point, that's just me.

How does being insulting go against equality? You can insult me, I can insult you, we'll all have a good time with our equal right of free speech. As for insulting them with the words bigot, idiot, homophobe, or bible toter...

I don't think all people who are against gay marriage are bigots. They're just illogical. I do think people against gay marriage are idiots however, as they try to support their position with cultural or religious bias, rather than with a coherant line of logic. There's no reason to oppose gay marriage other than to support cultural or religious bias, and those are both terrible reasons. Equality is a much better standard to follow than social or religious tradition. Homophobe doesn't really fit as an insult... Well it might, they are afraid of gays getting married because *somehow* it will ruin straight marriages. I've never heard it explained how gay marriage devalues a straight persons marriage. As for people getting called bible toters, they deserve it if they're using a biblical argument, or if their religion is the only reason they oppose it.

Explain how the way they think is revolting. I find the way they think firmly grounded in logic, even though some do have hostility. I think the hostility is justified however, because their hostility is towards people who want to promote injustice.

EDIT: I'm not against people who think all marriage should be abolished. I agree with that. Either everyone can get married, or everyone can get civil unions. It's only fair.
