sexual orientation, gender, handicap, left handedness etc are all minority traits,

when someone is called a bigot for their stance against gay people.. they exclaim 'it's not a race'

i don't understand what their point is. are they saying that race is the only minority trait that it's NOT ok to be bigotted against?

i fail to see their point.

Well -- what about those who despise Christians? Are they not bigotted? Or those who despise Conservatives. Or those who despise those who have always worked for everything they have?

Default why don't some people understand that there are other minority traits besides race?

just because a person is different it doesn't make them a minority, i have a disability but that doesn't make me a minority and when anyone calls someone else a Bigot they should be looking in the mirror. calling people names is grade school.

being gay is not a choice, ironically being a christian is. and by despising 'christians' do you mean the way they somehow reach beyond the constitution to deny others constitutional rights out of love, forcing them to have a harder life for no valid reason?

that's not despising 'christianity' for no reason, so stop acting like a victim, it's a reaction of anger to being punched in the face by a bully.

when you hit someone they get angry and have every right to.

I like liver and onions.

Most people hate liver and onions.

Some people find it disgusting when I eat liver and onions in front of them.

It's not a "choice" that I like liver and onions.

I was born that way.

All of the above is true.

Dosnt matter if its a choice or not ( I dont beleive it is) . Not liking someone because they are different or hold opposing views is the same. Im gfuilty of it , just as you are,.

Homosexuals With Hurt Feelings™.....when will you understand that your emotional blabbering is irrelevant to anything and everything that matters in the United States?

You keep saying this as if it is a proven fact, It is not a fact it is an opinion and a theory. There is no medical test that can show anyone is a Homosexual, get your facts straight.

Look up the word minority in the dictionary. It is anything or anyone who doesn't represent the majority.
