| Not really. It's okay to judge some things but not others. Maybe you need to be more specific. I'm judged as a homophobe even though all I think is that "marriage" should be reserved for man and woman. That doesn't sound like I'm afraid of any particular gay person. Sounds like quite a liberal and prejudiced use of a made up term. Quote: |
if ones prejudice is directed at women, baptists, gays, blacks, it makes no difference. such prejudice is equally irrational, and equally abhorrent.
| And again, it depends on the type of prejudice and what you do with it. Some aspects of people are fine to be aware of. It just depends on how you act on those feelings. This is my new signature. |
