Wow...eloquence is certainly the word for that. I wish people would watch that and be convinced by it and anything at all would change. But, continuing with that idea of a religion that professes love and spreads hate, how can he only single them out for gay rights? Aren't they also warmongers too? Aren't they judgemental, assuming everyone with a different religion (or no religion) will be destined for hell, regardless of their moral character? Kudos to that guy, but a lot more could be -- and needs to be -- said.
ReplyDeleteI, too, was deeply moved by Olbermann's commentary, and hope someday that younger Americans will be able to undo this injustice. Though religion plays a large role in the hostility, I think age and culture play a larger role. How ironic that almost 60% of African-Americans supported this measure! And I don't know the statistics, but I expect a much higher percentage of men than women supported the measure. There's that "macho" culture that for some reason feels threated by gays. For the life of me, I just do not understand.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that brought me to tears.

ReplyDeleteWow, that basically states everything I feel on the issue, and does it a million times better. There's no way I could express my feelings this clearly, but it's spot on. It's a pity this wasn't circulated enough before the vote. Such a shame...
