@CoastalRat,
No CoastalRat, you don't get it. In fact it seems from your response that you didn't think at all about the topic, or even read the responses in the thread before you typed your knee-jerk response.
The definition of hate group I gave was quite specific and doesn't apply to "ANY group utilizing our free speech rights". In fact, as I have said, it doesn't even apply to every group that opposes homosexuality.
The issue is that they are making a very serious claim that is both damaging and factually incorrect. There isn't much worse than being called a pedophile.
There is a big difference here between political disagreement and hate speech. There are very few groups that are saying vicious lies about a group of people in this way.
How is the claim that pedophilia (which we all agree is a horrific crime) is a goal of homosexuals not an example of hate speech?
I am really surprised that anyone with any sense would defend this.
