Anti-Gay Blacklist

Filed Under Free Speech 

As I’ve stated before I’m opposed to the policy of Prop 8 but feel that the protesters need to use the legal system instead of the streets to fight Proposition 8. Now the protesters have finally lost all of my support. They have posted an anti-gay blacklist which lists donors to the measure and advocates boycotting their businesses:

How can anyone defend these kinds of actions? Just like you have a right to protest the measure, others have a right to support it. This is America, everyone has a right to vote how they feel, and that may mean going against your views. You are protesting hate, lost of rights, yet you create a blacklist and advocate people to take away other American’s right to own a business and profit? You force a man out of his job because he supported the proposition?

What you are doing here is exactly what you are protesting, the loss of rights. As Gandhi said “An eye for eye makes the whole world blind”. Instead of talking and having civil discussions, you shut out the opposing view and reject their right to free speech.
