No. I've proved my argument.
Jefferson is running around insisting that the standards for "bigotry" on a POLITICAL vote include decisions made on POLITICAL characteristics.

Such a standard would obviously call you a bigot.

And I just reminded the viewing public about your prejudiced views.

Jefferson? There is hypocrisy here and it's not with me.
But you lack the honesty to admit that...

BEING a homosexual is the issue at hand.
THAT is not a political issue.

And I'ld say it is the REPUBLICAN party who has made it more so in their attempt to demonize homosexuals, and in this case, demonize a fellow republican JUST BECAUSE he's gay.

Don't worry. Everybody else gets the point even if you won't admit to it..

You are claiming that EVERYBODY who is "against" homosexuality is a bigot and a hater.

That is wrong. And, once again, YOU are wrong.

There are many people who stand against homosexuality, believing that it is sinful, harmful, wrong and a perversion. They are not hateful people, but they honestly believe homosexuality to be wrong.

In like manner, there are people like Hevusa who are openly hateful toward christians, because he thinks everything religious - and particularly christian - is wrong and stupid.

Deal with it. Stop being such a pussy cry-baby and deal with it.

No. I am not.
Once again, you rush off to claim somebody has an opinion without even bothering to figure out what their opinion ACTUALLY IS.

My position is that anybody who DISCRIMINATES against homosexuals, based solely on the fact that they are gay, displays a sign of bigotry.

Likewise, there are many people who stand against homosexuality who display open prejudice and bigotry towards homosexuality.

1) Seems like somebody isn't capable of "dealing with" their own issues, like your complaints about Hev. Otherwise you wouldn't harp on his religious views on this thread about gays.
2) I am dealing with it. Refusing to let people weasel out of bigotry, or misrepresent it, is part of that "dealing"...

So... is voting AGAINST a political candidate BECAUSE HE/SHE IS GAY discrimination? Is it bigotry?

Or is it the freedom of choice that Americans are entitled to?

It is both bigotry AND freedom of choice.
GOVERNMENTAL bigotry is illegal.
PERSONAL and PRIVATE bigotry is entirely legal.

Oh. You mean how you claim I would be bigotted against anti-abortionists, when I explicitly stated that I would have no problem voting for one?
The bigotry you imagined in your head, and couldn't find the honesty to admit that you were spouting inaccurate dribble?

Is that why I would be "in trouble with the law" then?

Oh cry me a river.

You want to believe that only anti-homosexuals can be bigots. That's like saying that only white people can be racists.

Even you should be smarter than that.
