Why is this so important to some people and why does it cause so much animosity?
What they don’t preach is “Kill all the christians and jews” like the muzzies do...
The destiny of ones soul hangs in the balance.
You know, I tire of these liberal tactics by posters like yourself.
Colorado voters in the 90s simply didn't want civil rights protections extended to homosexuals. The black-robed rogues of the Supreme Court overturned it about a decade after that, claiming that Colorado voters showed "animus" toward homosexuals and lesbians.
For one of the first times in our Free Republic, voters were disallowed to think in a certain way when they voted. It became, in effect, a "thought crime" to vote with certain motivations -- as if these black-robed rogues could discern Colorado voters' motivations at such a distance & lump them together to begin with!
You display this same sort of internal judgmentalism with such a simple question.
Then, once the gay activist community realized they had a court precedent of your "animus" angle, what have they done with it?
They've been tossing it up for the past year and a half trying to use it vs. Prop 8 -- something many Mormon citizens opposed with their $ and voice!
Examples:
* Prop 8 On Trial--Animus takes center stage
* 'Voter animus' to be issue in California marriage case
All you continue to do is to reinforce liberal logic...
(I certainly won't say it, but I'm sure some people could tell you where to stick that animus!)
