Sure, but I think currently people on both sides are tossing it out for the sake of drama.

I think I mentioned here that a couple of months back, some woman in our ward came to our house and was talking about stuff. we got into a heated discussion about the whole issue.

It turns out afterwards that she told my wife that she felt persecuted for her beliefs. lol. my wife told her to lighten up. But then I came downstairs and got pissed at my wife for talking on the phone without my permission.

I agree that both sides are taking advantage of the situation, though I believe that persecution is persecution. Matthew Sheppard's situation went beyond persecution.

If my wife didn't talk on the phone, there would be no reason to have one at my house, but I understand what you're saying: the only correct location for my Brooks Robinson autographed baseballs is on the mantle in the living room and my wife refuses to abide by that.

That reminds me. I need to install the motion sensors and alarm on the mantle.

ask matthew shepard how he feels about the persecution of those who had their acura spray painted.

wait...you can't ask him anymore.

I did not use that word. If you don't know what it feels like to receive a death threat, then shut up. Have a nice evening.

LA, I apologize for TripletDaddy. I hope you haven't had to endure such a thing. Take care.

Peace and Love,

I think he was the chairman for Los Angeles County. He's also a leading lawyer in Los Angeles, a partner in a big firm. I'm sure he gave a lot of money to Prop 8.
