A reader complained that he "couldn't imagine" what I meant when I stated that gays want "special rights."

A little tidbit from today's Idaho Values Alliance provides a hint:

"The Senate has postponed its vote on a "hate crimes" amendment as they tussle over the Iraq war. This amendment, which is nothing more than a "thought crimes" bill, represents a grave threat to religious freedom in America. Columnist Janet Folger points out what "hate crimes" legislation has already produced in America: a former homosexual was arrested for sharing his testimony with a homosexual at a gas station; five Christians in Florida were arrested at a homosexual rally for stepping onto the public sidewalk; seven Christians were arrested in Elmira, New York, for doing nothing more than praying in a public park where a homosexual festival was getting started; two sixteen year old girls in Illinois faced felony "hate crimes" charges for distributing flyers opposing homosexual behavior; and two grandmothers were arrested in Philadelphia for sharing their faith on a public sidewalk during a gay pride parade. As Folger says, "Just how many cases do we need to cite before America stands up and stops the bill that will criminalize Christianity?"
