Frankly, they are two of the least hateful people I've ever known, so there's no mistaking their choice for hatefulness. Once I confirmed they are voting the way they are from their own volition rather than LDS decree, I had no choice of my own to but to respect their freedom of choice and cordially disagree with theirs.

Perhaps. But not from me. Who loses if I were to give them a taste of their own medicine? If I must become as intolerant as they in order to "teach them a lesson," I am the big loser.

It was enough to state my case, point out the hypocrisy of Mormons to foist their definition of marriage on others, and appeal to their lasting hurt that their personal view of the "right" definintion of marriage (i.e., male polygamy) has been made illegal by the determination of others.
