Denying the facts is what enables people to hate and to persecute marginalized and threatened minority groups. Labeling the advocacy, educational and informational initiatives of these persecuted minority groups dismissively as 'propaganda for the gay agenda' undermines, belittles and trivializes the cause of those whose right to exist is under threat.

Money is not respect. Neither is power. And if people respect you for your money or your power, it isn't you they respect - but the money or the power.When you win people over who hate you for what you are or what you believe, and they still come to you to make friends - or to ask you for counsel or assistance - that is respect - and that respect is power.

The simple truth of the matter is that people who complain about a peaceful parade which lasts at best one hour in a particular place - ONCE in a whole year - do so out of hatred and intolerance. it isn't just the parade, it is seeing gay and trans people in public - and gay and trans people BEING gay and trans in public. And that is the root of the problem - they HATE gay and trans people.

isn't lying supposed to be a 'sin'? Or is it okay to lie when trying to make people you hate look bad?

How many innocent victims of hate crime does it take before it becomes wrong enough to put a stop to?For us, one is already too many. For those who hate us, a thousand, a hundred thousand – a million, or even all of us – is not enough.

Knowledge and education are the key to this human tragedy which is a bonfire of hate fueled by ignorance.

Hate is no respecter of race - as apparently neither is stupidity.

If you hate others in the name of God, you should be looking within to see where it stopped being about God and where it started being about YOU.

I fail to see how somebody can hate me for 'what I do' and what I am without actually hating me as a person. That makes about as much sense as throwing the baby out with the bathwater - or gay man out the church door with his homosexuality.
