What I can't understand is how one can call for love, respect, maturity, free speech, equal rights and then turn around and label those who might not fully agree with them as haters, bigots, religious fanatics, unconstitutional, etc. I find it hypocritical and wish the issue could be discussed without negativity on either side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-82950307636499534622012-06-06T11:06:08.186-04:002012-06-06T11:06:08.186-04:00I visited your blog for the first time and just be...I visited your blog for the first time and just been your fan.

I said I am in the minority here in the comments but not in the real world. I guarantee if this had gone to vote, the people of New York would have voted it down (like prop 8) or it would have at least been very close. Although it doesn't seem like it here, the majority of Americans are opposed to gay marriage. And just like those in support of it, those of us who are opposed, have a right to feel and vote that way.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248837687585463369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-69427099175440447032011-08-05T07:44:21.532-04:002011-08-05T07:44:21.532-04:00Dear Anonymous 8:17 pm,
