Homophobia Rant

I just do not understand how homophobia is tolerated and promoted in this country. How can politicians, especially those aspiring to run for President be so openly biased? How can anyone involved in public speaking and public office be so biased? Publicly promoting hate and ignorance just shouldn't be tolerated. Teachers have learned that their personal beliefs shouldn't affect how they treat their students. Politicians need the same sensitivity training. You are being paid by the taxes of all citizens and should serve them equally. If you are unable to do that, find another career path.

EVERYONE in this country has the right to the pursuit of happiness.
If you do not want to marry somebody of the same gender, DON'T!
but
Do not deny this right to those who do.
Do not treat GLBT citizens as second class citizens.
Do not try to push your personal beliefs on to those who do not agree with them.
That is not the American way.
That is not the way human beings should treat one another.
Choose love and tolerance over hate and ignorance.
Make the world a better place for everyone.
Shame on those who use this irrational fear of homosexuality to hurt other human beings. Using taxes to pay public servants promoting hate really should become unconstitutional.
