Should I be surprised?

A self proclaimed "liberal democrat" has an article in the LA Times. No surprise there.

But the discussion of same sex marriage is refreshingly unexpected.

What I'd like to comment on is how angry people get. Disagreeing may be an American pastime, but why do we attack the other person? It took 20 comments before a positive post popped up. Both negative and positive comments are empatically so. Many angry people think the author is very wrong, but being angry doesn't make them right.

After all the screaming at the author, I don't think it's tolerance they are fighting for - it's fear of being the last one standing called a bigot. Let's not forget, being called a bigot and being one can be very different.
