You can’t treat people as second-class citizens, as not deserving of the same rights as yourself, and then call for an end to violence to that group. It is in the mere prevention of these rights that you create a reason and environment for people to hate and persecute them.

Pretty ho hum… And I know maybe fifty gays personally, perhaps 100 or so straights.

I do have one question for you Daniel, how many gays to you know personally? Well enough to be able to describe what a typical day or week would be like for them.

I share Gordo’s curiosity. What would such behavior be?
