if they were openly bigoted towards any other minority they would be dead in the water. yet their MAIN candidates for president are OPENLY bigoted towards gays. ( and yes being against gay marriage or against the repeal of DADT or FOR bullying of gays DOES make you a bigot)
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 must be a bigot then since you're against the traditional concept of marriage. Why do you want to silence the voice of Christian Americans? Don't be a bigot.
I know plenty of conservatives that are not hateful towards gays, but oppose gay marriage for other reasons; usually to preserve the traditional meaning of marriage, to ensure children raised in households get both a male and female role model, etc.
I oppose gay marriage in it's current form because it will surely (and already has) infringed on the rights of the church, opening them to discrimination lawsuits if they refuse to perform a ceremony that goes against the beliefs of that church. I'd fully support a law that allowed gay marriage, as long as there is a provision that allows churches to deny those seeking same-sex marriage without threat of legal repercussion.

I don't give a damn who you marry personally, but being against gay marriage does not make you a bigot. And which presidential candidate has advocated bullying of gays?
Republicans need an acceptable minority to demonize. The poor idiots that vote for them have to be whipped into fear and hate in order to vote against their own best interests. If blacks were still acceptable to demonize like gays are now, they'd use blacks as their scapegoats.
