Tolerance?

I just received this e-mail in my inbox. Since I gathered signatures for putting preserve marriage on the ballot—since the state legislature already approved same-sex marriage and didn’t let the people have a voice -- they send me e-mail updates.

 I'd like to say I'm shocked by this story but I've heard too many similar stories.

Here is the letter:

October 16, 2012

Dear Marriage Supporter, Yesterday, one of our volunteers, Arlene Mark – a Chinese American woman – was verbally attacked while waiting to distribute literature to other volunteers. What is more, Nikki Davis who came to her aid – an African American woman – was assailed with racial slurs.

According to the victims, the assailant ran at Arlene's car, hit the back of her vehicle, and ripped the Reject 74 campaign yard sign off of the side of her car that she had taped onto her vehicle so that other volunteers who were going to meet her in the parking lot could recognize her in the rain. As he tore the sign, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it, the same-sex marriage activist yelled at Arlene, “This is what I think of your f---ing sign! I’m gay and proud of it.” The perpetrator shouted vulgar profanities at Arlene calling her a “b----” and screaming“f---- you!”

The assailant then turned his ire on Nikki Davis, an individual uninvolved with the campaign who came to Arlene's aid. He proceeded to hurl racial epithets and vile slurs at her, including calling her a “black b----” and the n-word, and telling her to “go back to Africa.” He also pounded on the back of the van, and kicked its tires. Nikki, who was terrified for Arlene, for herself, and for her children who were with her in the car, called the police.
[ End of letter]

For a group of people who cry about tolerance and equality, they sure don’t practice what they preach.

This just goes to show you what a bunch of selfish, bawl baby, intolerant to anyone’s views but their own, hypocrites the same-sex marriage proponents are.

That’s my two cents.
