I think the opposite is true, particularly here on the forum.

It happens all the time. Certain members here call gay people abhorrant, perverse, deviant, drug abusing pedophiles (or various combinations of those words) and any response - ANY response - by a gay person is shouted down as "hateful" or bigoted.

I think it's pretty silly though there's always a chance the kid in question grows up to be a homo.
He probably will be-that's how karma works.

My brother in law is an ignorant bigot. He hates blacks and especially gays.

His 4 year old son likes to wear his sisters clothes and his favorite show is "Dancing with the Stars"

He doesn't have any male friends at his pre-school. Only wants to play with girls.

That is Karma.

You're arguing logic with the type of person who uses little actual logic, fact to make a logic based decision.

What they believe is the only "right" thing and everyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. Logic will never win over the zero logic person.

Its handy that you responded, since you're among the top three or four I was thinking of.

Your posts are particularly grating because you bash gays and then you go running to hide behind your religious dogma that you somehow think justifies your feelings towards anyone who is different from you.

Sure sounds to me like that that's what you're saying.

Then you heard wrong. There is nothing wrong with opposing hate speech, but if you want to maintain the moral high ground, you don't respond in kind.
