Yes, congratulations, you've just sucessfully proven that Christians who break the law sometimes get punished for it. Thanks, but I wasn't actually asking for proof that the judiciary had done their job and upheld the law (note past tense), I was asking for proof that the gay lobby will persecute (note future tense) Christians.
"Proven."

"Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state, usually under the control of a single political person, faction, or class, recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible."
-Wikipedia
I read your article, Proxy, but I couldn't find any references to totalitarianism. I did find descriptions of a bunch of violent idiots, but you get violent idiots at the fringes of every ideology. The existence of gay-bashers doesn't make the anti-gay lobby a totalitarian regime, does it now?
Oh, and a brief caveat: when you start throwing terms like 'totalitarianism' around, you come dangerously close to violating Godwin's law. I advise you to choose your arguments with more care.
