Of course not.  How would they gain support?  As it is, CFV already lies
in order to gain its support.  Did they not promote Amend 2 as the denial
of "special rights" to homosexuals, when in reality it removed existing
guaranteed rights?  If their motivations are genuine and well-meaning, why
must they lie about their actions?

Also, I seriously doubt that such organizations recognize their own
hatred.
As a previous poster explained, their actions probably stem more from fear
than simple dislike.  But the reaction to fear is often hatred, and 
judging
by their actions and the way they conduct themselves, that certainly seems
to be the case here.

Certain words, such as this one, shouldn't be thrown around lightly, I
agree.  But it certainly seems to apply in this case.

>Out of curiosity, why isn't religion a valid motivation?

This one left for the next poster.

Guess you can't defend yourself anymore.  If you can't take the heat...
