Like racism, gay discrimination is always going to exist.

We also live in a country where dominant religious beliefs are passed off on pretty much everyone, regardless of how you personally feel. I know I'm not happy that my tax money goes to fund faith-based initiatives in churches that are run by scumbags, but such is life. So, if we have bigots and religious fundies running the joint, I'll take someone who doesn't agree with gay marriage instead of someone who disagrees with gay marriage and actively tries to prevent it. |
I agree - hypothetically, if I think abortion is wrong and it is the taking of a life but realize that that is my opinion and it should not be thrust on any pregnant woman (hence pro choice) - I would not be happy that my tax dollars go to fund abortions. Yet, I have to realize that such is life. Pro-choice people will take everyone being like this as opposed to total non pro choice.
