Lets Tell the Whole Truth, Shall We?

Dr George Pell claims that there was a referendum in California which voted against Gay marriage. He goes onto claim that this has since led to extremist secularists (don’t you just love that?) committing violence and hatred towards Christians, which he is trying to call Christianaphobia. (don't you love that even more?)

Oh my god! No distortion or half truth is beyond this man.

So, let’s tell the full story.
The supreme court of California ruled that there was no reason why same sex couples shouldn't get married. In fact, they ruled that it was discriminatory for same sex couples not to be allowed to be married. And same sex marriage was legalised in California.
After which, the Christians went apoplectic and swung their considerable power into action to have the question included on the presidential vote, which they were successful in doing.
When the origins of the money that was thrown at this question, e.g. who’s lobby groups were swung into action to help influence the vote, hundreds of millions of dollars were supplied by various Christian groups, mostly, from outside of California, gay people, surprise, surprise, have reacted angrily.
The violence towards Christians is as a direct result of the Christians, once again, willing to do everything in their power to destroy the lives of those people who do not uphold Christian views.

Dr Pell, just in case you do not understand the difference, homophobia is hatred against homosexuals simply for who they are and what they naturally feel. Homophobia is aimed at stopping gay people living the lives they chose to lead, lives they chose to lead without influencing any other group of people in the process.
Your so called Christianaphobia is a direct response to Christians, yet again, trying to inflict their views on other people. Yet again, trying to stop homosexuals from being who they are.
Homosexuals are not trying to influence Christians, in any way, in what they believe in and how they chose to live their lives.

Dr Pell, this is what your particular brand of poison leads to.
South African lesbians are suffering rapes by men trying to "cure" their homosexuality, in what is becoming one of the most common hate crimes against gay women there, a new study said on Friday.

And, just remember, historically speaking, we are a pacifist group of people, on the whole, and we will take non-violent means to fight our fight, but eventually, all it takes is one pissed off drag queen who stamps her heel and says, I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANY MORE!
