Let's not forget what this man ponied up $1,000 to support. There are principled, respectful arguments that can be made against gay marriage. Prop 8 supporters did not choose that path. I don't really blame anyone for holding a grudge after being labeled a threat to children and society.

You can’t say a hate group. How could you know? Everyone was divided.

We can’t possibly know what he thought when he gave the money but as it was a divisive issue I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

If blame needs to be placed, it belongs on the side of militant gays or more specifically OKCupit’s dating site.

From there is was bowing to a pressure group for the good of the establishment, and one they really had no hope of winning.

It was foolish to think that this was the safer course.

Tolerance is a two way street. Those who would have it also need to demonstrate it.

Otherwise it is only hypocrisy.
