I might not agree with everything this guy says, but the basic principle of this article is right on the money. I've long said there is going to be a HUGE backlash against the GLBT rights movement if it continues on its present course.

It's not just "Christians." As a Baha'i, I've been told I'm "hateful" by default, I've had my religion likened to Nazi doctrine and told that it's dangerous to the point of being deadly -- simply because it -- like nearly all Orthodox faiths -- states that marriage is only between men and women and that God does not approve of homosexual behaivor.

The GLBT rights movement was right on the money to condem such clowns as The Rev. Fred Phelps. But then the circle of those considered "hateful" began to grow and expand to include more and more people. Now, faiths that are veiwed my most as moderate, or even a little liberal, are being labled as "extreme" or "hateful" -- simply because they won't re-write religious law to celebrate homosexuality and embrace gay unions within the church, synogauge, mousqe, temple or other house of worship.

I had one particularly militant poster in another forum say that as a person of means and a large employeer, it's becoming one of his main goals in life to "maginalize" those who practice "anti-gay theology."

Well, bully for him, everybody should have goals in life. But I think he -- like many of the more adamant wings of the GLBT rights movement -- is in for a rude awakening if they think they can simply "maginalize" what could very well be upwards of 70 percent, or more, of society.

I'm optomistic about the future.. and I think the push and pull over this issue will work itself out in a way that's ultimately benifical for all. Gays deserve to be freed from the chains of fear, isolation, real bigotry and ridicule.

But I think that GLBT movement in general still has a hard lesson to learn in that just yelling "hateful" at anything and anybody that disagrees even one wit with them is, in the long run, really hurting nobody but themselves.
