Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a
Republican, on Wednesday said opponents of gay marriage often face
“intolerance” from those who support it.
In his first comments on the subject of
marriage equality since a judge struck down Florida's marriage ban,
Rubio, who is often mentioned as a possible 2016 GOP presidential
candidate, said he was likely to get attacked for his remarks.
“Even before this speech is over, I
will be attacked as someone who is a hater or a bigot,” Rubio
told a Catholic University of America audience.
Rubio acknowledged the discrimination
gay and lesbian couples face but added that he could not support
marriage equality.
“There is a growing intolerance on
this issue,” he said of proponents, whom he urged to show respect:
“Tolerance is also a two-way street.”
Rubio acknowledges the discrimination but still believes it isn't oppressive to keep denying civil rights to a minority?
Yes, I must wonder why we are so intolerant of your intolerance.

What we are intolerant of is being told that we are an abomination by religious bigots for 3000 years and being abused and murdered using that as an excuse. The boot is on the other foot and now they have a clue how it feels. NO GOING BACK EVER! B
