[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1003630, member: 18225"] Come on now, let's not beat around the bush, let's call things by their proper names. This guy actually is a[B] [URL="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot"]bigot[/URL][/B]: [A person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; [I]especially[/I] [B]:[/B] one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance) ]. And really, hey, it's no problem! He may have his own reasons (i.e. religion) for being a bigot, and he is certainly entitled to his own opinions, [I]and[/I] his 1st amendment right to express those opinions. But, by definition, he's a bigot. Words have meanings, let's use the correct ones. (Insert 'inter-racial' instead of 'homosexual' in any of his comments about marriage and you'll know exactly what I mean). Listen, if any of you have a problem with two people whom you've never met and know nothing about getting married, to me that says more about you than it does about them. I know plenty of hetero couples that should have been denied the marriage permit... [/QUOTE]
