I'm gay, so let me answer from that perspective.
No, you're not a bigot. You have as much right to your feelings as I do. For example: I feel in the very depths of my being that religion is a useless waste of time and human intelligence. However, I don't begrudge those who believe in their various religions from living according to whatever fantasies (I believe) that they buy into.
You become a bigot in my opinion, when you use those feelings to try to:
a) tell me how to lead my life
b) insist that I'm of less worth as a human being than you are.
c) try to outlaw me.
d) Try to force me to lie and hide in order to live my own life
e) Lie about me and other gay people.
f) etc.
(I just find it fascinating that you posted the same question with some variant in the middle of the question -- doing a psych experiment, are we?)

That's an excellent question.
If you feel homosexuality is immoral but you tolerate it and don't discriminate on this basis, than, no, you are not a bigot. Immoral behavior (in your opinion) that has no victims and doesn't infringe upon any of your rights is really quite harmless.
Personally, I doubt that anyone "chooses" to be attracted to the same sex. It seems rather contrary to the whole scheme of things - but, hey, live is short - what ever floats your boat is fine with me. Just keep your sex life where it should be - your own private business.

No, it simply means that you have a different sense of morality than others. I feel that homosexuality is immoral too, but I don't shoot them, or hang them from fences, or even beat them up. Their choices are their choices. And it's between them and God.

not at all. its no different than being grossed out by any other deviate sexual activity.
they ll slant it to say you re really gay bc of your "irrational hatred". their quote, not mine.
many will call you names for your true feelings but you cant call names or speak out against them or you yourself will be labeled. a bit of a hypocrisy.
if a man hates child molesters, using their rational, that man must himself be a child molester or at least wishes to be.
i dont buy any of their bs and feel how you want. diversity can be for both sides, not just liberal thinking.

No, it does not. I find it amazing that the liberal who preaches "tolerance" will not tolerate those of faith who belive in an absolute right & wrong, the absolute sanctity of life, the Biblical definition of marriage, and a God who holds man accountable for his actions...

you most likely been sexually abused. let me guess, the person who molested you was a gay, liberal, migrant worker, what else? Ethan believes refused to ask on yahoo if Luther king Jr. was communist . he said that you guys won't agree with him because we went to public school. Ethan is home schooled! he is Mommy's boy!!
