It's nice to see that just because a person doesn't agree with something,

they're not hateful about it.

In today's news about same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, Ray McNulty, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Family Institute, which opposes same-sex marriage, had this to say:
What's going on down there is legal, and as far as I'm concerned, give those people their happiness for the day.

This is in stark contrast to the likes of Fred Phelps, Sr. and his supporters, who protested the ceremonies. Rev. Phelps is known for his tasteless protesting at funerals/memorial services (such as the one for Matthew Shepard, who was slain in a hate-crime in Wyoming), churches that support gay rights, and any other forum where hate speech against homosexuality can create headlines
