20. well, there is a bit of difference
as to what you call 'ground zero'. In effect all blacks were 'out' so there normally was no question of who they are (except those called 'pinkies', and they had their own special problems). Now as to 'gay' that was/is normally a secret so non-homosexuals take it upon themselves to concoct stories and behaviors they ascribe to 'gays' and then when someone is identified as 'queer' (leaving aside the question of if they really are or if that is just being used as a excuse to beat or kill someon, anyone) they react 999% to the stories they made-up.

That is why i voted other, mainly because non-'gays' can surprise you, but being black is no surprise to anyone, so the bigotry against 'gays' seems worse to me.
