Re: Ken Mehlman reveals he's gay
I don't think someone who is against same-sex marraige is going to beat up a gay. I'm not taking it that far. However, they need to take a deep look at themselves and ask themselves why they're against equal treatment under the law for this particular group of people.
If you had two brothers - one straight, one gay - how would you explain to your gay brother that you think your other brother's relationship is better than his? Because that is, in essense, what you believe.
I am going to say this again: being anti-gay marriage does not make you anti-gay...
I am about as strongly pro SSM as a person can be, but even I recognize you can be against SSM without being anti-gay. It's that type of rhetoric that ultimately is more harmfull than helpful.
