I was talking about feminists having a bigotry towards men, you ARE born a man, so feminists should qualify.
Quote: You're born an atheist but beliefs can change, you can't change your race.
What the hell has that got to do with anything? Why does my ability to believe something else mean I should be less protected against bigotry for what I do believe?
Quote: Race is a fixed part of a person that is very close to them and cannot be changed, to mock it, belittle it, ridicule it or attack it in anyway is the worst form of all bigotries.
I don't see how it's any worse, it would be like someone being bigoted towards Muslims thinking "oh toughen up, you weren't born believing in islam, so i'm more justified in being bigoted towards you than I am someone who was born black"
Quote: Homophobia is probably second worst because it attacks sexuality which is also very close to a person, although not quite as close as race because it's not necessarily purely genetic.
It's not necessarily genetic? Says who?

Drop the legality part, it's obfuscation, get back to the principles involved.

I said gay rights, as in the right to marry. That's still illegal in most of the states last time I checked.
