All bigotry isn't equal. You'd throw away decades of people working towards social equality against a majority who didn't want to see it happen just so you can be "right". My point, which you can't or won't see is that we as a society need to be moving away from that & the people who won't, no longer get to participate in all aspects of said society. We aren't talking about tearing down the entire foster care system, we are talking about changes going forward. You are so worried about what people can or can't do you can't see the accumulated real damage that it does & will do in the future.
You think my point is bad for the individual & I think yours is bad for society.
You win, I'm done, be happy.

Not at all. Protected classes aren't an opinion Adrian. Neither is child psychology. I'm not an anarchist like you. I realize society needs some laws & that mob rule is a bad thing. You may too when you get older.
You keep harping on authoritarianism. I dare you to walk down your street nude (freedom of expression) or yell "fire!" in a crowded theatre (freedom of speech) & see how long your cries of "authoritarianism" keep you out of jail.

Just as an aside, you are woefully ignorant of the civil-rights struggle in the USA.
