"When a minority group is targeted for discrimination, when their rights are under assault at the ballot box, the ineptness of the political campaign waged to defend that minority does not excuse the actions of voters who back discrimination. White people ultimately have a responsibility not to be racist; men have a responsibility not to be sexist; Gentiles have a responsibility not to be anti-Semitic.

And straight people--of whatever race, or whatever religion--have a responsibility not to be homophobic."

-- Dan Savage in a post called The "No on Prop 8" Campaign, Race, and Responsibility
