Well, to be fair, I don’t advocate hounding them if they aren’t trying to implement their bigoted beliefs in our government. Everyone has a right to their own beliefs, as long as those beliefs don’t impact someone else.

Legislating bigoted beliefs - you know, like Prop 8 was doing - that’s a completely different thing, and deserving of consequences.

Once again: we are talking about restrictions on the civil rights of your fellow citizens. Not whether the Capitol should be white or eggshell.

In my mind, there is a fairly large difference between someone who merely voted for Prop 8 and someone who contributed to the pro Prop-8 campaign.

Contributing to the pro Prop-8 campaign necessarily entails the financing of hateful anti-gay propaganda. Voting for Prop 8, while hardly admirable, is a lesser offense.

This is another reason why the deliberate conflation of voter and donors in this whole MBF exercise grows tiresome.
