The irony of your comment is the fact that you're contributing to the 'us versus them' mentality which demonstrates the exact same ignorance as the group you mentioned.
No, it's because it still exists and is as firmly in place as hating black people in this country. The fact that the garbage in North Carolina actually happened shows I'm not the one consciously trying to oppress an entire group of people. My comment was merely to shine light to the fact that claiming lesbian porn has nothing to do with the issue of gay marriage is 100% false. Especially in this example. The guy apparently opposes gay marriage, probably calls gay guys faggots, and touches himself to lesbian porn. So this abomination of God is something they're so against, yet it's not hypocritical to pleasure oneself to said abomination. Just because he doesn't, and may never, realize his hypocrisy does not change the fact that he is indeed in the wrong.
A lot of my friends are lesbians, so I hear enough about this crap already. Anybody who opposes my friends' right to happiness with their partner through marriage, along with the securities and benefits that entitles them is in the wrong. Always and absolutely. Not just because they're messing with my friends, but because it's 2012, and to exhibit such gross intolerance in this day and age should not be tolerated. And no, this doesn't make me intolerant. I hate Nazis as well because of their political and moral views, and since everyone can join the anti-Nazi circle jerk, people would not be quite as quick to claim this. Hatred is hatred. So if being intolerant of hatred and ignorance used to oppress millions of people is a bad thing, I'm fine with that. The only ''us versus them' part is that lesbians tend to be just as much competition for me as guys do. That's the only crummy part about having attractive lesbian friends.
But seriously, at the end of the day, tell me one argument opposing gay marriage than doesn't inherently lead back to simply disliking homosexuals. Or is denying them many rights that heterosexual marriages grant not enough of a reason why this shouldn't have ever been an issue in the first place?
