    Depends on the person you ask.
    Some say queer in attempts to “take back the word” others say it means questioning.
    It’s similar to the pink triangle.

    In this instance it was used as a derogatory.

    You really need to look up the definition of bigot and then buy a mirror.

    Only because Pence is a Christian like the Ayatollah is a Muslim.

    Many that don’t like Pence because of his policy and attempts to codify his religious preferences into law.
    Very few people have an issue with Christians, they have a problem with chstofacists however.

    And you left-wingers are anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-marriage, anti-capitalism, anti-Christian, anti-conservatism, anti-pro-life, anti-marriage, etc.

    And Communism, Marxism, Socialism, gun control, taxation, regulation, homosexuality, LGBT, etc. is not progressive. It's regressive.
    No, I'm not voting for a Democrat.
    Yeah, that's why I'm not voting for an "evil" Democrat.
    What took you so long?

    Actually, voting for someone just because they are a homosexual is shallow.

    No, I'm not kidding.

    Why is "if that ain't about as ugly as you can get" the real problem?

    Really? That's the deal breaker to get your vote. If Trump was gay, he's lost you. Wow

    No, there doesn't need to be a filter.

    And many have problems with left-wingers pushing their perturbed preferences into law.

    I agree, who is doing that?
    The only people here saying they would exclude or include someone because of irrelevant characteristics are the anti-gays.

    I am sure people being treated equally gives you great discomfort.

    Allowing men into women's restrooms is not equality and does give great discomfort to the women.

    I wouldn't say I'm a left-winger......left leaning would be closer.
    Anti gun? No, I live in SD and have a concealed carry permit but I do recognize a problem when I see one and guns are a problem.
    Anti freedom? (sigh) Not worthy of an answer on the basis of not reality
    Anti marriage? No, marry whomever you want, what do I care.
    Anti capitalism? No, but close
    Anti Christian? No, I don't care for ANY religion but go ahead and go to any church you want just don't tell me your better than me because you do.
    Anti Conservatism? No, only when you want to force those ideals on me.
    Anti Pro Life? No, I'm all for life but I don't have a problem with abortion.
    Anti Marriage.......now you're repeating yourself
    There are a lot if "ism's" out there. I think a balance of some of them might be best. The rest of your "progressive" problems are really just your problem.
