As much as I disagree with ItWillDo's comments (as made very clear by my posts in this thread), can we take a step back and not call the man a bigot please? He is raising a good point regarding people's response to different types of bigotry. I disagree with his opinions but he has brought up a perfectly valid subject that we should all think about. It's worth asking why we have such a strong response in this specific situation. I think that response is very valid and I don't think we have to justify our response to it, but for the love of god... He is not a bigot, he's not oppressing gay people, just relax.
We're responding because it is very clear to most of us that being gay is normal.
It's also, by now, quite clear that being black is normal. Chinese, too. Probably Jewish as well.
Hopefully, in the foreseeable future, it will be considered equally normal to be... I dunno. Arab? Transgender? Pro-ana?
So yeah, we aren't completely bigotry-free, as a culture.
Yet.
