No. It doesn't. That's a quote by Gandhi.

Hate to break it to you or anyone else, but being openly bigoted towards gay, comes from both sides.

I personally know both dems and repubs, who are bigoted towards gay, that is why they are not my friends.
There are many bigoted people in this big world, and they are Libs, Cons. Repubs, and Dems.

How do people on this forum get away with being bigoted towards gay people.

HOw can they simply just say these things openly with no consequence? they still get elected, they aren't trying to cover this up.


I'm gay and i did NOTHING wrong to deserve even a smidge of hostility or inequality. I deserve to be punished for choices i make that harm others, NOT for unchosen birth traits

You do realize that there are many democrats that are opposed to gay marriage and other "gay" issues as well, right? How someone views homosexuality has a lot more to do with their religious and personal beliefs than that of their political allegiences.

Then again, all I have to do is look at who started this thread and then it all makes sense.

then perhaps you can listen to what jesus said, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." it says essentially the same thing.

You need to understand the meaning of the word bigot.
