Yes, because homosexuality is more important than the WILL of the people. Moron. Keep complaining dip**** but the people voted for Prop 8, nothing you, your gay lover and the morons in Hollywood can do to change that.

Milk only won because of its politics, it was kind of a weak script...

Yes, because the will of the people is always correct. That's why slavery used to be totally ok and now it's not. What are you, a mormon? Why the hatred? Doesn't your imaginary friend disapprove of bigotry?

Of course jokerboy, the losers in Hollywood need to show that their OPINIONS are more important than the will of the people

Humbert, I like how you attack the mormons in a post asking why the hatred. Nice double standard.

Relax dude. You have to have some morals otherwise we'd be no better than animals. Morals are what separate us. And if we keep down this road we'll be asking for the rights to have sex with animals. Where do we draw the line??
I digress..

So the will of the people should be changed for the will of the VERY FEW? I guess according to you dumb****, blacks should not be able to vote, hey the KKK should be able to push their views like the gays

Andy, thank your for the insight. I will never point out bigotry or backwards thinking again. That way, it will all just go away on its own when they come to the sudden realization that they are wrong without any social pressure to do so. It has worked that way perfectly in the past, right? Oh wait...

You'd really think RT had some moderators keeping an eye on things, deleting comments like in this thread and banning people like Loyalty. You know, like EVERY forum does.

How about we just do what is right and civilized and stop getting worried about what the majority thinks? Are you capable of thinking for yourself? You do realize that blacks being able to vote is the result of a minority movement, yes?
