Ferocious racism directed at blacks...because blacks overwhelmingly supported California's Proposition 8 (overturning the California Supreme Court's imposition of gay marriage). Of course, not all blacks voted for Proposition 8, but the gay racists aren't making that distinction.
It just shows that being a victim of centuries of oppression as a gay person (for all those gay people who are centuries old) doesn't make someone exempt from being an oppressor.
A friend in the Bay Area tells me:
Craigslist's Bay Area Rants and Raves section carried a recent post with a spreadsheet list of Yes on 8 (yes = vote to ban gay marriage) contributors, that was annotated with someone's assessment of whether they were Mormon or not, and what appeared to be an invitation to exact retribution upon these people.I've mentioned similar uses of this tactic by gay activists in Massachusetts--clearly intended to intimidate supporters of traditional marriage with fear of attack. Imagine if someone pulled this stunt with the No on 8 list--you would never hear the end of it from the mainstream media.
