I keep hearing all of this nonsense about us lgbts attacking people, about us using intimidation and violence to oppress people, about us somehow being ugly aggressors.
Newt Gingrich (who wrote the book on deceptive messaging during his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives) actually accused us of being "secular fascists."
Gingrich's attack on us seem to be the prevailing theme with those on the other side of the Proposition 8 argument.
And I think there needs to be some historical perspective on this matter.
