Pfft! Wow, a self-declared feminist making relationship jokes instead of addressing the issue being debated – and they say a woman’s stubborn will is just a stereotype. Pfft!

Is there a P.O. box? I want to send them a toaster. Especially if she had the good sense to do it before reproducing with a smug patronizing pillock with the IQ of plankton.

THAT is why it’s bigotry." Heh. OK. So because people are trying for it, it's automatically bigotry. I gotcha. I suppose common sense is just a wee bit above your little head darlin'. It's OK. Not everyone can grasp the concept. I don't hold it against you. Like I said, you folks all LOVE to use semantics and opinions and activism when it fits with YOUR views, but when it's not something you agree with, common sense gets tossed right the fuck out the window in exchange for your own condescending, holier-than-thou agenda. But see, I don't have a problem with it, because I support your right to have your own opinion. That's what America is about. I may not have to agree with everyone on everything, but I fully support the fact that differing opinions are what make this country so great. I guess you ladies feel differently, since you're so adamantly against anyone voicing different opinions and will in fact blast them as much as you can, while at the same time expecting people to support YOUR right to be against them. Hypocrisy is such a two edged sword, gals. Be careful when wielding it. “BUT IT DOES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET MARRIED AND CAN’T BECAUSE OF FUCKHEADS LIKE MISS CALIFORNIA.

THAT is why it’s bigotry.”

BUT IT DOES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET MARRIED AND CAN’T BECAUSE OF FUCKHEADS LIKE MISS CALIFORNIA.

THAT is why it’s bigotry.

I know it’s a really, really, really, really, really fucking difficult concept:

It’s just an opinion TO YOU.

Because -it doesn’t affect you-.

So how’s about, you know, mind your own fucking business and go the fuck away?

Because YOU say it is???? Perez Hilton, the media, America in general all like to say that they're tolerant, but when you disagree with what THEY THINK IS RIGHT OR WRONG, then watch out! There is no law stating it's bigoted to be opposed to gay marriage. By labeling Miss Cali as a bigot, you're stating your OPINION and you ARE being intolerant of her beliefs. That's the FACT of the matter. I personally don't care about gay marriage. It doesn't affect me one way or the other. If someone put a gun to my head and said chose a side or die, I'd say go for it and let gay folks marry to their heart's content. So you could say I don't agree with Miss Cali's views. But I SURE as shit support her right to have her own beliefs, and not be ignorant enough to call her "bigoted" because I don't agree with them. You like to use semantics to describe what intolerance is, but you ignore those same semantics by calling her bigoted. Why is it automatically “bigoted” to not agree with gay marriage? Because YOU say it is????
