Any man that lets a 71 year old woman kick his ass isn't much of a man. I would have yanked that cane from her grasp in one second. It's not like she had a kung-fu grip or something.

Sure, you don't.
How do you know that's true? You probably know gay men but aren't aware that they're gay.
Do you have sex with every many you're around?

Crimes have established minimum and maximum sentences. They are not and should not be arbitrary.

Again, he assuredly knew that she recently had a stroke. He probably would rather stand there and take a few blows than risk grabbing the cane and sending her toppling to the ground. I think he showed remarkable restraint and poise by refusing to fight back and injure this deranged, violent, hateful women. He seems like quite the class act to me. His acts are the acts of a true, real man.

It's very possible she is. If so, she should be found not guilty and receive the medical treatment she needs.

Totally missed this before, and it pretty much explains everything... you don't hate them but you don't want to be around them? Maybe that concept would make sense in relation to something that could physically affect you, like the examples you gave about drugs and lack of bathing. But how would a gay person being near you have any effect? It wouldn't, and thus you are about as hateful as they come. That's your right, but please don't play us for fools by claiming otherwise.

Sheesh... if I said "I don't hate black people, but don't want to have to be around them" would you believe I wasn't racist?

Oh come on. I'm sure she really, in fact, loves gay people; she just hates their sin of being that way.

Right, I forgot... love the sinner and hate the sin, or something like that? To me that's just code for "I'm a hateful bigot who lacks the backbone to admit it openly."
