Gay marriage: "A uniter, not a divider"?

Hate Nation - The culture wars are back on, with a vengeance

March 1 - A picture in The New York Times on Sunday did more than just capture the gay marriage debate: In the photo, two newly married lesbian women are kissing while all around them, homophobes, bigots, haters and distorters of Christ's message of love taunt them with flame-covered signs reading, "Prepare to meet thy God!"

It's a striking image of love and hate in bloom. And so it's time to ask a question that has come up from time to time in our nation's history: Looking at that picture, it's time to ask yourself, "Which side are you on?"

Do you support young love or do you support the old hate? Do you stand for a future in which people are judged not by the slant of their sexual orientation, but the contents of their hearts? Or do you stand for the dark days of the past—when blacks were enslaved, women couldn't vote, people couldn't fall in love with someone of a different race?

In short, do you want to be a uniter, not a divider?
