There is going to be a rally of "Students for a Hate Free Daily" at UW today against this.

************

Great; glad to hear the Thought Police are coming out for this.

As a former newspaper man, I'm foolish enough to believe that newspaper opinion pages are a place where people can share differing beliefs - even strongly-held ones.

While I completely disagree with the writer's opinion, he has the right to be able to express it in a lawful, peaceful manner. Winning ideological arguments can't be done by shutting up opposing viewpoints. If these protesters truly were serious about what they believe in, they would write a counter-point article on why gay marriage should be legal.

Talley your joke cracked me up!  Congrats on the win!!!

 I have tried winning those call in contests a ton of times, have never even got thru on one, my brother called one time and won one because he called me on his cell while waiting for them to answer and asked me what the Brady Bunch Family dog was named? I knew that it was "Tiger" . The little shit didn't even offer to share it with me.

"She said Eve was stupid". 

Stupid was the bad word she was referring to.

You are lucky Don, my youngest when he was in the first grade, was riding in the car with me on the way home from school. I asked him how his day was, he said  "good" then goes "No it wasn't good"  I ask what happened and he says "Can I say a bad word?"  I say sure, thinking he would say Stupid, Hate, Shut-up or Idiot, all bad words to say to each other in the Moisan household. Well he thens tells me "Some little son of a bitch at recess, stole my lego's."  

Needless to say I told his teacher if he asks to say a bad word, tell him NO. What shocked us, that isn't even a bad word term we use, it's like he was hanging out with a bunch of old men play cards. We did restrict his time with grandpa after that. LOL

I'm glad so many people are outraged and protesting Prop 8 now that the vote is over!  Where was all this satiric outrage before?!?!?

Before the Black and Hispantic vote came out in such large numbers, it was projected to pass, by a 18 percent margin. I get that those that are very Catholic, that voted against this. But I am at a loss that the Black voter block didn't view it as something they have experienced to the extent they have. I know it was religion that played the all important part.

But it was just so very sad we elected a person that just 10 years ago was someone that would have never got elected because of  descrimination, and blacks voted in such large numbers to descriminate.  I think people assumed that is was a no brainer to vote down Prop H8. I am not trashing on blacks, it was the white dumbshits that brought this up for a vote in the first place. I guess the only thing truely color blind is hate.

While I completely disagree with the writer's opinion, he has the right to be able to express it in a lawful, peaceful manner.

While I agree with some of this Bruce, I feel that this was written by a member of the newspaper staff and therefore represents the newspaper and those that do not like it, have a right to protest in a peaceful way to bring attention to this newspapers opinion. I agree counter point letters need to be written, but a protest is a very effective way to bring attention to the issue. It's like turning the light on in a cockroach infested kitchen, they scurry and hide when you shine a light on them.

Jodi, if I was going to protest every time I saw something dumb in a newspaper opinion section, I'd never have time to do anything else!

It just strikes me as typical of "campus activists," whom I view with a jaded eye. They tend to bray a great deal about "tolerance," yet seem completely intolerant of anyone who holds a dissenting viewpoint from them.

College is a bad age for most people - myself included. We think we have all the answers at that age, but there's so much we don't know and we just don't realize it. I'm not a country music fan, but I recently heard a song that went something like, "I'm so much smarter now than I was back when I knew it all."

That sums up just about everyone in college, I think, including these protesters and the editorial writer.

 the opinion that gays are just "Not Right" and need to be "dealt with" is bigoted and borderline hate speech.

Don that is what I was trying to say and you did so much better. I would say I felt it was hate speech.  I agree we can't protest everything that gets us upset, but this issue is descrimation pure and simple. And I found the letter to be really offending. I do not think for one minute, people choose to be gay, as I do not choose to be a woman. I believe one day science will find something in a persons DNA that proves this. Then there will be no way to deny equal rights.
