Jackson says Brown and NOM have a sense of dignity about human beings. They simply believe that marriage between a man and a woman is the best for society. But they're not gay bashers.
I mean, the smugness. You don't even have to look at the article to imagine the self-satisfied, condescending smiles on these guys. What swell guys they are! They think your relationship is a danger to society but at least they're not out to kill you! THAT THERE IS THE FUCKING HEIGHT OF TOLERANCE YOU GUYS
It's also these people who go on and on about how gays should be nice about this. "Gosh, if you only didn't care so much about something that has direct and painful effect on your own life we would be able to talk about this!" All it takes is some co-operation, right? "Just be patient and wait until we're ready to give you some rights!" How jolly and simple! It's not that any lives are being affected in the meanwhile..
So yeah. My willingness to understand kinda went down the drain, but I'm comfortable with not minding.
