I was just watching the news and getting really pissed off: Prop 8 supporters are now crying discrimination and harassment because people are boycotting their businesses. A woman interviewed just now whose business is being boycotted whined that her support for Prop 8 “doesn’t have any bearing on my ability to groom dogs.”
Guess what? My being gay doesn’t have any bearing on my ability to do a job, and yet gay people are discriminated against in the workplace every day. It is laughable how hypocritical these people are. You don’t see them complaining when fundamentalist groups boycott businesses that treat gay and lesbians as human beings; in fact, the Prop 8 groups went so far as to blackmail businesses that donated to defeat the bigoted initiative. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, they’re crying foul.
Tell me, how does it feel to be targeted for discrimination, boycotts, and threats? We live with it every day thanks to people like you.
