Practice What You Preach
Also, this comment was in response to these people going out on one day of the year to stand up for something the believe is important. Because of this, she insinuates that they have no life and nothing better to do with themselves. In contrast, she sees nothing wrong with going out on Black Friday to fight over sales items. It just baffles me. I don't understand how someone can preach tolerance and outwardly act and intolerant.
I find it appalling that there are still people with this mindset of, "Everyone should be tolerant and accepting of everyone else...unless I think that a person's opinion is stupid, and then I can make whatever assumptions about them that I want to." When I confronted her about it, she simply said that it was a matter of opinion. However, anyone that speaks out against gay marriage or anything else she supports is not simply "expressing their opinion," but they are stupid, ignorant, bigotted, narrow-minded, hateful, and any number of other things she deems fit to call them.
I understand not agreeing with someone else's point of view. What I can't see is why someone people can't handle when other people disagree with their own views.

Truth vs. Fact
In this day and age, people often use the words truth and fact to mean the same thing. However, there is a distinct difference between them. All truth can not be dimmed down into powerless facts, and fact can be overcome by truth. That is to say, the Truth can change the facts. For example, the facts can say that someone is sick, but the truth says that by His stripes we are healed. (But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. ~Isaiah 53:5) Fact is, I'm a sinner; Truth is, I am made clean, I am made worthy, by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Anything that is real in this world is fact, but fact is temporary and will one day fall before the ultimate Truth, which is our Lord, the one and only God. (For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." ~Romans 14:11)
Fact is how things appear now; Truth is what has been, what is, and what always will be for the rest of eternity. (And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. ~1 John 2:17) Let us not dwell on that which is passing away, but dwell in that which is eternal. When you are presented with "the facts" and find yourself anxious or depressed, look at the Truth. This is the only way to see how things really are, is to look at them through the lense of truth. (And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ~John 8:32)

This is what it means to be held...
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.
Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We're asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It's unfair.
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.
This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb our sorrow.
The wise hand opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.
