Ten days after a majority of California voters approved a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman, the "tolerance" is out in full force.
Those who supported Proposition 8 have been blacklisted, harassed and intimidated. Churches have been defaced. Donors and volunteers for the Yes on 8 campaign have been fired or forced to resign — just because they exercised their constitutional right to participate in the political process. And African-Americans have been accused of abandoning civil rights.
"This is the kind of thing we need to bring to the attention of the general population because by no means is the mantra of the gay agenda tolerance; by every definition (it's) intolerance and hate-filled bigotry," said Ron Prentice, chairman of Yes on 8 and executive director of the California Family Council.
"We were attempting to be respectful, but the opposition is actually increasing their rallies, their marches, their vandalism — to the point of sending envelopes with white powder to the Mormon Temple and to other major religious headquarters," he told Family News in Focus before a Yes on 8 news conference. "So we’ve decided we need to come out assertively against all of this activity and respond."
