[quote=Anonymous]It's all about the rhetoric. Gays and Lesbians are being beaten, terrorized, and yes, even KILLED.  When your community faces the potential of being assaulted or killed, lets talk.  I'm tired of defending myself to people who don't understand that it is lives on the line here.

Homosexuals are far more likely than any other minority group in the United States to be victimized by violent hate crime.  (source 1)

A woman was just handcuffed, beaten, and had the word DYKE carved into her flesh (source 2).  This was a few weeks ago.

In the last month or so, two teenaged girls were shot at- one killed, one terribly wounded (source 3)

So, yes, I think Focus on the Family is a hate group.  They spread lies and contempt for me as a human being. The rhertoric is that I am less than human, and unstable people take that and run with it.  It isn't simply about gay marriage, it's about my family not being equal to yours, about me being less than you.  And my community is hurting.  It's a type of psychological terror, to not know if tonight is the night that you get chased with a baseball bat for the peck on the lips you gave your partner outside the restaurant.

Focus on the Family has the right to say what they wish- but let's be clear, they are no different than an anti-Semetic group or a racist group.  You say what you like, I call you out as a hate group.
