[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because they actively lobby for exclusionary/ discriminatory legislation and practices.

It's one thing to encourage folks to follow "traditional" values. It's another to try to outlaw any other choice.  [/quote]

So does that make the Brady Campaign a hate group since they try to outlaw guns? How about Mary Cheh and Michael Bloomberg? They've tried to outlaw the choice to enjoy a soda.  Your argument is unconvincing. Also being on a different side of a law doesn't make you "hate" does it? [/quote]

It all comes down to "harm". Guns harm theaters full of Batman fans or houses of worship full of religious minorities. Too much sugar harms health which drives up publicly-paid healthcare costs, harming the healthcare system. (I'm not on board with that one, but I assume that's the argument.) Gay marriage between consenting adults harms... who, now? [/quote]

Now you are just reaching. Your definition of "harm" is not universal. Perfectly sane adults can own guns and not "harm" anyone. Using your same stretched logic gay men might prey on little boys.  Not saying it's true but it's reaching for one outcome and applying it to all others. [/quote]

Hey, I answered your question as if it were sincere. Now that I see you have an agenda, I'm out. I don't engage with fundamentalists. [/quote]

I thought you gave me a well thought out defense. I'm actually not religious. I just don't get why people with an opposite view are now considered "#hate". [/quote]
