Update on Landscapers

In the spirit of presenting both sides of the story, you can go here to see the response given by The Garden Guy. I feel the need to give my own opinion about the response that the Garden Guy's family has gotten over this. I am greatly disappointed in some of the reactions that the gay community has had on these people. I appreciate the fact that people feel strongly about this, but there is no reason to threaten someone's life, or to lash out at them in extreme ways because of their beliefs. Should they have handled it differently...yes, could they have handled their response differently...yes. They should realize that blatantly telling someone they cannot work for them because of who they are is not tolerated these days. I also know it is very easy to get extremely angry at them for their beliefs, and a lot of gay people tend to immediately lash out rather than taking the time to cool off, collect their thoughts, and make their opinion known in a mannerly fashion. It is a big big world, and not everyone is going to like everyone...as it is painfully clear in the Middle East (and I am in no way saying this is the same thing). In the end, the rash and severe responses given by some of the people in the gay community does more harm than good, and it just drives home a stereotype and reinforces the perception that people have about us.
