Same-sex intolerance

November 16, 2009 in Culture, Politics

This is a long list of detailed and documented instances of various forms of intolerance, bigotry, abuse, intimidation, and violence by supporters of same-sex marriage against their opponents. Since the “lame-stream” media cartel is not likely to give a thorough airing to such matters, it is useful to have the information collected in one spot. Now, some of the incidents are much worse than others. Some, in fact, seem rather mild and any culpability seems nebulous. But for all of them, one should ask how the incident would be treated if the action had been taken against a racial/ethnic minority, female, homosexual, or liberal by someone not of that class. How many “soul-searching” journalistic plaints about the evils of our “dominant culture” would there be? Or about the religious institution or faith with which the attacker was affiliated, if any? How many “hate speech/crimes” laws and prosecutions would be proposed and undertaken? How quickly and how broadly would the guilt for such acts be extended to all who do not belong to the victim group? How soon would it be before politicians, up to the President, would jump to politically correct conclusions before the evidence is in? Through long and grating experience with elite reactions to such events (which often turn out to be hoaxes), we know the answers. As typified by the reaction by the members of the elite institutions among the press, the military brass, and politicians, we also know the answers when the actions are done by a member of an officially protected minority.
