Typically, disliking someone simply because they are different from you is considered bigotry. I don't know the Doc's reason for disliking homosexuals, but I'm willing to bet it's just on general principles.
What is your attitude to gays and lesbians?

He said that he hates them because of their sexual orientation... that's pretty much the definition of a bigot. A prejudice against someone based on things such as race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, etc. I think that people can have issues with homosexuality without being a bigot, but stating that you hate people because of their sexual orientation screams bigotry to me.
Havent had a chance to read the thread but have skimmed over it a little,so what I mention may have already been covered...if it has then tough shit. 
My position is..I dont care if they are gay,I dont think any less of them.
I dont like what I refer to as rebel gays..where everything is centered around being gay..rather than they are merely gay.
This involves gay shirts gay posters and all they talk is Gay Gay Gay........Dont like em...not because they are Gay..but because they wont shut up.
I know some gay people...most are merely gay and being gay isnt the "focus" of life with advertisements of being gay being priority one.
They are everyday people who just like a crotch that resembles their own,so be it.
Its their choice and doesn't effect me.
Back to rebel gays...gay parades etc..fuck that shit...its an intentional separation in the social structure...A straight only parade wouldnt fly very far for example ..as it would be separation and prejudice.
Just because one is gay shouldnt give them more rights than anyone else.
I dont like to see gays making out..especially with children present..the kid needs his or her own inner instinct leading the way lead and not being shown examples of being gay.........when the kid gets older if they are gay they will know it.
Young minds are just like sponges..."Uncle Jerry and Uncle Terry seemed so happy I want to be like them when I grow up"..Point made
Back to gay parades..hate em..they take up air time and is something that is actually reverse discrimination...Gets into my drag racing time..and thats drag as in cars..not trying to dress up as something you arent to deceive a public
Gays have struggled to be accepted and hats off to em for the fight..they shouldn't be hated because they are gay..and IMO they aren't,society has come a long ways in that regard....The fights over,they need to let it rest

regardless if i think its right or wrong, i will not and refuse to base my decision to like someone because of their sexual orentiation. to me that is the core issue that people need to look at. now do i agree with all the PDA that some, i repeat some, of them do. No, but i dont agree with "straight" people doing it as well. some things need to be kept behind closed doors, regardless if its between a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman

The fight won't be over until gay people have the same legal rights as everyone else, such as marriage.
They do have the same rights
However marriage isnt a "right"
No social fight is ever over as long as one person hates another for their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, etc...and it happens plenty. Better does not mean case closed.
Homosexuals should be given an opportunity for the same societal privileges heterosexuals are given at birth.

Although I acknowledge the sarcasm alert, not exactly, right wing nut jobs don't tolerate.
I've been rooting for their equal rights for years. Interesting info about teachers and microscopes. My son has been out of secondary school now for 13 years. Thanks. I see my shortcomings.
Definitely disagree w/ your point being made. You really think a kid looks at a happy couple and thinks "I want to be just like them when I grow up so that means I have to be w/ another man"???
IMO we have passed that...the majority of people could care less if someone is gay....but if someone doesnt like gays that their right..there are a few left however that dont like gays..thats their right..I dont agree with em //but it is their business and their choice.
Its already better as they have special rights..such as a gay parades..it discriminatory against straights.
The children dont need to see it at all.
When children are 2 or 3 years old especially..everything is set by example and is embedded in the mind.
Take Frisco for example...more gays..as it is set by example.
I completely disagree. You don't think San Fransisco may have a high concentration of gays b/c they know it's gay friendly??? If you believe homosexuality is a LEARNED behavior, your theory makes sense...I don't believe that, personally. There is nothing anybody could show or teach me that would make me want to be a lesbian. *shrugs*
People arent flocking to Frisco because they are gay..it isnt growing faster than any other city.
We learn by example..being gay is a choice..observing gays while young will increase the likelihood of engaging in gay activities later in life

I swore I wouldnt venture into debate anymore...but I had to comment on this. Being gay is NOT a choice. They do however, have to choose whether or not to accept the fact, or live a lie and "act straight" to appease moronic bigots who are offended by them and think they CHOOSE their sexuality.
*ventures back out again*
If this is even remotely true, then please explain to me why almost 100% of gay people come from the home of their straight parents???
.
Sure its a choice.
One can dream about killing for example..doesnt make him a killer unless he chooses to kill.
You should venture back into the discussion :cool
