I agree with Erik, if they have the right to propagate their hate filled views then we certainly have the right to oppose said views.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. |

| Courts decide the constitutionality of Gay Marriage. Your vote doesn't matter sleyvas. Democracy is not mob rule. |

Courts may decide the constitutionality of gay marriage. It all depends on the arguments used, evidence presented, and the interpretations of the Constitution used by the individual justices. I actually expect the Supreme Court to punt on the entire affair, and send it back to the lower courts.
There's a joke circulating in Washington State: "You know how the Bible says if a man lies with another man, he is to be stoned? We've just enacted gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana. Coincidence? I think not."  |

In Canada the courts legalized gay marriages in all but a province (my province - the premier threatened to use some clause to get out of it. Alberta has the lowest public support for gay rights, gay marriage, etc. at 45% or so.) and two territories. But then the federal government (House of Commons) legalized it nationwide (essentially just forcing it on my province). The current Prime Minister (of the Conservative Party) said he would try to abolish it but once he came to power he hasn't actually done anything about it. Just recently a bill protecting sexual minorities (transgendered, transexual, etc. ) Many of those who opposed it just thought it was redundant because people were protected from discrimination based on their sex. A Member of Parliament from my city said it would allow men to dress as women and rape women though, he's a special person.
