501. The right-wing's hypocritical stance
against homosexuals is the cause of all this.

To understand why gays might be inadvertently offended by the whole discussion, I decided to replace 'gay' with a group in which I am a member (by birth).

I'm left-handed. So how would I feel if everyone was laughing about, raging about and generally dissing all the Republicans in the news lately who are left-handed and even using negative terms such as wrong-handed? Even if everyone said it's the hypocrisy of them claiming left-handed people are from the devil while being secretly left-handed themselves that is the problem, not their left-handedness...and especially if bashing left-handed people had been going on for decades and even informally sanctioned...would I be feeling uncomfortable? Would I be slightly offended by the entire conversation? I have to say YES, I would.
