I think Gawker sites have more readers from large, diverse, urban areas. If that's where they've usually lived, they won't understand that most of the U.S. is not a progressive coastal city. When whites from these locales get transferred by a job to where I live, they leave in record time. Now, think about it- these…

Anti-vaxxers make me absolutely BONKERS. I just cannot handle these types of people! And sorry, but your tenacious desire to maintain your delusions is not so sacrosanct that you should be allowed to put others at risk.

Yeah, the whole first half of the bible is basically, "worship God or die. Painfully."
Of course, it's the second half that then comes around to the "don't be an asshole" idea, but that's more of an expansion pack, not the original.

Well, you have to concede that this dude not having the power to stop total strangers from getting married is a tremendous imposition upon his freedom.
