That's death threats against a 5yo actress.

I've quoted the relevant sections of the Wikipedia page above. 

Relevant to whom?
 
After the FRC
spent a lot of money lobbing in favor of the death penalty for gay people in
Uganda they were listed as a hate group.  After that a FRC security guard was
shot.

Shooting a security guard is the wrong thing to do and the shooter is serving
jail time for it.  Causing people to be killed by unjust laws in Uganda is
also the wrong thing to do.

I couldn't agree more.

You've generalised about ALL people who disagree with same sex marriage, because some nut jobs made death threats against a young actor.

A nut job shoots a security guard outside a FRC building, and you don't see the irony? Should I be worried about YOU shooting me because of my beliefs? 

Do you believe that I would make death threats against somebody ASSOCIATED with a TV show, because the TV show had a same-sex couple?

YOU'RE drawing that line.
