However, after MTV's groundbreaking Fight for Your Rights broadcast a few years ago they started a discussion board much like this one and I was absolutely stunned by the number and viciousness of anti-gay posts.

The haters are teaching their offspring. I think they are mostly terrified of what would happen if their kid turned out to be gay and met someone as narrow-minded and hateful as them (the parent).

As long as the media is so unbalanced people can live their whole lives thinking their way is the only way to think. I know I rarely read conservative papers and I can't watch or listen to conservative talk shows because they make me so angry. The other side must feel the same way, although I cannot understand why.

I was taught compassion - the real kind, not the kind claimed by gwb and his ilk. I was also taught to see both sides of the coin if possible. So many people don't seem to do that any more.
