Gilbert doesn't want me to vote NO on Prop 8

Today I got a handwritten letter from Gilbert Torgason in Glendale.

What Gilbert is worried about is that I might vote No on Proposition 8, which means voting against stripping people of their constitutional rights. (Not being a conservative but rather a progressive, I am interested in preserving our constitutional rights as well as the environment and a bunch of other stuff)...

Gilbert is afraid that a vote against proposition 8 (a vote against stripping gays and lesbians of the constitutional rights that only straight folks should have) is a vote against things like freedom of speech (since hate speech directed at gays is hate speech, not free speech, as long as we are deprived of our freedom to deny people their freedom), and a vote against freedom of religion when the foundation of that religion is God hates fags. Of course he phrases it all a bit more delicately than I am phrasing it.

I'm touched that Gilbert took the time to write me this handwritten note, even though I have no idea who he is or how he got my address.

But he can shove it up his ass.

I'm voting NO on prop 8.
