Actually, yes, it is hate... what Prop 8 supporters don't want to understand

Nothing makes Prop 8 supporters itch and wriggle and object like this does:

It's the "H8." Whenever we use it, you see, they say they don't hate us. In fact, they almost beg us to believe that they don't hate us, they support traditional marriage, or it's just their religion or their belief system or how they were raised, blah blah blah.

They say they don't hate us, but they seem to be confusing "hate" and "anger," or possibly "hate" and "violence." I'm not saying everyone who supports Prop 8 and laws like it burns with anger at us (although some of them do), nor that they feel like bashing in our brains (although some do).

No, what I mean is that a feeling that someone is less than you, that he or she is abnormal or not fully human, that their love is not the same as your love, that their desire to bond with another person is a perversion -- and that you, as the holder of rights, should be allowed to deprive them of theirs due to your disapproval of their existence is, in fact, hate.

Yes, you do hate us. And if that makes you feel uncomfortable, good. It should.

Since JULY 2008 I have been SCREAMING online about the ACTUAL-REAL-LIFE consequences of inequality. Mothers, Fathers, Children; all hurt. Why hasn't President Obama or Joe Biden connected the dots when it comes to harming our families? WE DESERVE AN ANSWER NOW!

Same overlap of people are also "pro-life" until it suits them to KILL someone...
