Do you see? DO YOU SEE? It's the same damn thing. People are born straight/gay/white/asian/black. It's not a choice. You say you think it's good that they show pride, yet you still look down on them as subhuman. You think you understand them, when your part of the crowd of people essentially spitting on their shoes.

By sitting there, claiming to be tolerant and understanding, while simultaneously bashing gays for being what they are and saying they're not equal, is probably equal to, if not worse than outright saying you "hate gays, burn in hell."
