Dear ZAROVE,

Showing complete intolerance for those who disagree with him, Sen. Mark Dayton of Minnesota recently accused those opposing homosexual "marriage" of spewing "hatred and inhumanity." He referred to those favoring marriage as being between one man and one woman as "forces of bigotry and hatred..." He said an amendment was "unconstitutional and un-Christian."

And he said a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being only between one man and one woman institutionalizes discrimination against homosexuals. He said such an amendment is "vicious, ugly, mean-spirited and should be illegal." Those who support the amendment are supporting something vicious, ugly and mean-spirited.

Kevin Cathcart, executive director of Lambda Legal, a homosexual advocacy group, was quoted as saying, "I couldn’t be happier" with Sen. Dayton’s statements. He went on to say, "We need the power of the word (marriage)."

"Jesus Christ didn’t say, 'Love only thy opposite-sex neighbors,'" Dayton said, saying that Christ was silent on homosexuality even as he repeatedly condemned adultery and divorce. "No one has suggested a constitutional amendment against adultery and divorce." Sen. Dayton failed to note that Jesus was also silent about rape and incest. Would Sen. Dayton also favor legalizing rape and incest?

Senator Dayton’s comments were reported in the Minneapolis Star Tribune (2/29/04).
