SSM Plebiscite

[PaulP]

I understand why it happens also, but I don't respect or empathise.
A cause starts to lose people once it loses moral high ground and attacking people and their livelihood was enough to do it for me

I think the words and actions need to be seen in a broader context, more specifically in a context of power relations. As I stated earlier, most of the power resides in the conservative lobby - political power, media power, social power, historical power etc. The gay lobby is under represented in all these areas. The fight isn't fair at all. The poo pooing of the gay lobby for name calling needs to be seen in such a context. Bullying is not the same on both sides, not does it carry the same weight, or sting.

If society and politicians had some sense to begin with, things would not have devolved to this point.
