http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2012/11/hate-watch-for-the-radical-right-obama-victory-brings-fury-and-fear/When the word came in Tuesday night that Barack Obama and the Democrats had won national elections in something close to a landslide, millions of Americans went to bed, satisfied that even if their candidate didnt win, democracy had survived.
The lopsided results made it clear that this election had in no way been stolen.
(snip)
The anti-gay right reacted with fury, as well. In a long thread on the passage of same-sex marriage referenda at the anti-government site Free Republic, commenters were apoplectic and frightened.
Get ready for Gods wrath, wrote one. The people are choosing Satans finest. Fudgies win again, wrote another. Incidents of HIV [to] rise again. And a third: America is going to pay for its unbelief and its love of abortion and homosexuals. And IT DESERVES IT.
SICK SICK SICK, wrote still another. What a filthy night this election is.
Our struggle for dignity is a long, long way from over regardless of how positive this election's turnup has been for us.

and other groups will continue to be really important.

but they never have an explanation as to why God's wrath never shows up.
Religion teaches - love thy neighbor as yourself
where did that get lost?
If they value families
Why are they stopping families from being created in the LGBT community?
It's like Limpballs saying that, right will win out
and not getting that, right did win out by electing Obama.
They miss the answers to their guestions to God
because they're looking for a different answer
I don't know why there is so much religious stuff spewing out of me today
gotta go check on horoscope!
For what it's worth...
