Would you riot?

I would move to a less religiously bias country like Germany or The Netherlands or perhaps Canada.There is just to many fundamentalists in this country to fight and if they made it harder to be free then what good is this country except to be a theocracy.Because that is essentially what would happen if they tried to out right ban homosexuality in the US since it is the religious folks who are the ones complaining and trying to legislate against us the most.If they gained enough power to ban homosexuality then they would gain the power to discriminate against anyone who doesn't think as they do.
And I just don't have the fight in me to be willing to die at the hands of hate and intolerance.I will fight as long as fighting has positive results.But if the religious right takes that much freedom away then this nation shall be free no more and thus I would go to a free country.Much like our ancestors left England in search of freedom, I would leave the US for the same thing.

I would do whatever it took, but I would have to draw the line somewhere. I'm no good to my son dead. If it got so bad that I had to worry about being killed in the middle of the night, I would simply move away, maybe to Canada.
To some people that may sound like cowardice, but good am I to the fight dead? And, better yet, what would happen to my son? There are simply some chances some people can't take. I don't think we should look for a physical war, as that would only result in death, and blood, and hate. IF, and I do mean IF, it comes to that, we should move forward in a manner as peaceful as possible. We are not Nazis, nor are we barbarians. We are people. I don't know if that made a whole lot of sense, but I tried.

I would participate in a civil protest. However, if I was met with violence, I would react the same way. We in the LGBT community are fighting a "war". We've won a lot of battles and we've lost some comrades along the way. But we're here, and we're gonna keep on goin'!

it all depends on politics and religion, in which some people's eyes are the same thing. we need to honor separation of church and state. if they tried making it illegal again, i would probably protest but, not riot. riots usually cause too much violence and unnecessary harm. protests are usually peaceful. not all the time though. many protests have gone bad, like abortion protests causing bombings of clinics and death caused by those who oppose death by being pro-life. i will never understand that hypocricy.

There are many states right now where the laws are used to persecute gays. But there are also a lot of people who are working to protect our rights. I think we all need to be involved in the struggle to gain and protect the rights of all people. It is an ongoing battle.

Yeah i would, I'd riot as well if that is what it took. I don't believe u should oppress ppl for their sex and i would fight for my beliefs in that just as i would fight for all my other beliefs. If u aren't prepared to fight for ur beliefs then there is no point in having them, ur just gonna cave anyway.

this would be a very bloody war...no one knows who the gays are...the gays could work within the ranks of the straights and pick them off easily. We would have the straights shooting eachother...they are so easy to convince their straight brothers are gay! They would not stand a chance. Would I do it...in a heart beat!
