Okay. I don’t often use my blog as a soapbox for political issues. But this has to do with something I cannot tolerate: HATE.

It makes me sick to think in a state / city in which gay marriage is legal that a sign like this would exist:

Now think about this: How is that sign any different from this sign that was recently in the news?

Feel free to discuss. The backstory is that this sign (the top one) was put up, then the pastor received threats to himself and family so he replaced with “Adultery is not okay.” And according to a source who is friends with the pastor, the church’s Facebook page (which no longer exists) was hacked and extremely hateful messages were sent out to people.

I’m not sure what to believe, but my main concern here is the sign situation. How were EITHER of these signs deemed acceptable by anybody in our society today? Haven’t we moved past this? Or do we consistently have to have a group to hate and scapegoat? Or is it just human nature to dislike things that are “different”?

What do you think?

I don’t even know what to say, and I’m not in the mood for a bunch of ignorant comments, so all I’m going to say is that I’m seriously disappointed in the people of Maine and have lost even more faith in this country.

Who are we to vote on others’ civil rights?

Might as well go back to the days of segregation and when women sat quietly while their husbands ran the world.
