[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This world that we live in is so sad. People can no longer have a difference in opinion and co-exist. I may not agree with your lifestyle, but I would have the upmost respect for you and not treat you any differently because of your choices. That goes for anyone. [/quote]

This is not a difference of opinion.  If you believe homosexual parenting harms children, then we don’t have a difference in opinion, we have a fundamental difference in morality and I think you are a bigot.  Bigots don’t get my discretionary income.[/quote]

That is absolutely a difference in opinion. I may believe that a white couple adopting Asian children isn't fully in the children's best interest and I may have real reasons to support that. I may believe it's best for Asian families to adopt Asian babies. Of course, adoption into any happy, healthy family is better than an orphanage, but am I a bigot because I have that opinion/preference?[/quote]

A bigot is someone who is intolerant toward people who have different opinions. Intolerance is not the same as disagreeing.[/quote]

No, you don't know what a bigot is.  It is intolerance towards others [b]who differ.[/b]  Let Houghton Mifflin enlighten you. The coach is definitely a bigot.

A person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race (noun)[/quote][/quote]

Wut? You literally just said the same thing that I said. "intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own" - wtf?[/quote]
