I encounter the occasional intolerant remark at gay people from time to time from people that don't know.
I have noticed a trend regarding that though that makes hearing it maybe more interesting than upsetting.
Take for instance the last such comment I heard:
"I don't like gay marriages"
Kinda tepid, no ?? I still wasn't happy hearing it, however, think of all the gay rights issues since the Stonewall riots. This complainer is up to speed on all of them, apparently, except the last one.
I probably shouldn't be annoyed at all. One of the first things I heard after I came out (this was '76) was an offer to beat the shit out of me, just for being gay.
Not liking gay marriage is pretty evolved over that.
And all in my lifetime.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
