I voted in a couple of the American Family Association's polls in the last several weeks (yep, I was one of the 90% who said they'd vote for Kerry), so now they send me periodic emails to encourage me to keep doing so. They asked me to forward it to at least one friend, so I figure, why not a hundred or so?

Showing complete intolerance for those who disagree with him, Sen. Mark Dayton of Minnesota recently accused those opposing homosexual "marriage" of spewing "hatred and inhumanity."
He referred to those favoring marriage as being between one man and one woman as "forces of bigotry and hatred..." He said an amendment was "unconstitutional and un-Christian."
And he said a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being only between one man and one woman institutionalizes discrimination against homosexuals. He said such an amendment is "vicious, ugly, mean-spirited and should be illegal." Those who support the amendment are supporting something vicious, ugly and mean-spirited.
Kevin Cathcart, executive director of Lambda Legal, a homosexual advocacy group, was quoted as saying, "I couldnt be happier" with Sen. Daytons statements. He went on to say, "We need the power of the word (marriage)."
"Jesus Christ didnt say, 'Love only thy opposite-sex neighbors,'" Dayton said, saying that Christ was silent on homosexuality even as he repeatedly condemned adultery and divorce. "No one has suggested a constitutional amendment against adultery and divorce." Sen. Dayton failed to note that Jesus was also silent about rape and incest. Would Sen. Dayton also favor legalizing rape and incest?
Senator Daytons comments were reported in the Minneapolis Star Tribune (2/29/04).
Please email your two U.S. Senators and Congressman and ask them to keep this debate on the issue and not on the name-calling gutter level used by Sen. Dayton.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go email my senators and ask them to shake Mark Dayton's hand in their capacity as my elected representatives.
