If the same group of people who backed Proposition 8 and were also involved in the GoDaddy protest?then those particular individuals would obviously be hypocrites. However, I very much doubt that is the case here. It appears that we have 2 separate groups of people acting independently of each other. If this is the case, no hypocrisy found and we have another example of how human reason is impaired by their false stereotypes and bigotry.

To clarify my point, let's say one group of Democrats favor gay marriage while another group of Democrats doesn't?does that make all Democrats hypocrites? Does it make either one of the groups hypocrites? No and no?we just have two different groups of people who happen to have different beliefs?be they part of a group called Democrats or a group called Christians for that matter.

I never claimed hypocrisy, I merely suggested that those doing the boycotting should consider what happens when the situation is turned around.

You never used the word "hypocrisy" in your original post, but your meaning was clear. Even our esteemed eskimospy can see that (response to blackangst1 below):

"Did you read the OP? The point of this thread has absolutely nothing to do with that. It has to do with fundamentalist christians boycotting things they don't agree with, and then complaining about boycotts when they are used against them. It's hypocrisy that's being mocked here, and rightfully so." - eskimospy

The logic of bigots clearly fails. This is just one more example of how ignorance and bigotry affects rational thought. They use their stereotypes as justifiction to demean and marginalize another group of human beings as well as to flaunt their perceived superiority. Human beings are strange, strange creatures.

For the record...I like boobies

From Wikipedia:
"A stereotype is a preconceived, oversimplified, exaggerated, and often demeaning assumption of the characteristics possessed by an individual due to his or her membership in a specific group. Stereotypes usually function to deny individuals respect or legitimacy based on their membership in that group. They are the hardest to dislodge in situations where a dominant group desires to keep another group subordinate.

Stereotypes often form the basis of prejudice and are usually employed to explain real or imaginary differences due to race, gender, religion, ethnicity, socio-economic class, disability, occupation, etc. A stereotype can be a conventional and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image based on the belief that there are attitudes, appearances, or behaviours shared by all members of a group. Stereotypes are forms of social consensus rather than individual judgements. Stereotypes are sometimes formed by a previous illusory correlation, a false association between two variables that are loosely correlated if correlated at all."

Clearly the OP was meant as a troll to draw people out, and that's why I ignored it. However when Train started dropping the world's dumbest comparisons , I felt compelled to respond.
