No I'm not. I just disagree with some of it.
We're on the same side of the fence on the fact that there are bigots out there.
But I disagree with your "Semantic pedantry" position.
Why must people who support gay rights (which I believe almost every active poster on this board is) be subject to attack for being a breeder?
That I hold my wife's hand in public or refer to my wife in conversation, etc. does not mean I am flaunting it. I am not going to suppress who I am.
I am sorry that homosexuals are attacked (from glares to physical violence) for the simple displays of affection in public that heterosexuals can enjoy. I will be the first person to come to your defense when a bigot makes him/herself known (I've even yelled at a family member for such bigotry). But don't berate me for the fact that I can and don't expect me to stop.

Do you really think that
anyone here (on LoT) does otherwise? I've seen no evidence of it.
