SAY WHAT?



"I'm against making people feel uncomfortable or unsafe in their own homes. Even bigots. And staging protests outside people's homes is a tactic usually employed by rightwing anti-abortion activists and the KKK back in the day. I don't think this is a tactic that gay rights movement should endorse or adopt.



...To bring this down to a personal level: I say a lot of shit that pisses off the religious right. I don't want rightwing anti-gay haters turning up on the sidewalk outside my house, annoying my neighbors, and, most importantly, making my son feel unsafe in his own home. Honestly sometimes I'm surprised that they haven't; I'd even go so far to express my gratitude yes, to the haters that they haven't. Protesting outside people's homes I don't think they should do that to us, any of us, and I don't think we should do that to them, any of them. Not Tony, not Maggie, not these florists."-- our sexy scribe Dan Savage opines on the protest outside the home of an anti-gay Canadian florist.
