My point is that bigotry lies on both sides of the fence either path you spoke of will provide damage to those related to each that it could bring more pain than healing.

Not everyone I know who believes in God believes in enacting hated acts against homosexuals and not every gay person I know that is happy wants to eradicate the source of people's beliefs.

We can guess how people might react but we cannot predict the actual damage and recourse of such things.

Finally, some honesty from a politician. 

(for the record, not agreeing, but it's nice to hear them come out and say it, not just imply it)

I have implied nothing.  I have said I do NOT condone people stoning people for being gay anymore than I could condone forcing what my view of the world might be on others or changing someone's book of religion just so it reflects what I want it to say.
