I find that people (worldwide) try and justify their hatred towards homosexuals, and they are shameless in their convictions. I come across these people fairly frequently

I have seldom come across people who say they hate another race and tried to justify it; and if they do try to justify it they almost never do it as shamelessly as homophobes do.

However, both racism and homophobia exist. It's just that it is seen as "more acceptable" to be a homophobe in the public eye.

Just to drive home my point, I could easily name five or six established members on this site who have said they hate homosexuals or their behaviour, but I have only ever once seen a well established member of this site say they hate other races in the same way.

surprisingly, black people have a much harder time accepting gay people.

I'm not saying that racism isn't prevalent. It is. It's still a huge boogey man that exists a lot more intensely in certain elements of the ountry.

But homophobia is more widespread and more intense.

Though onn the original point, Machina is wrong - to the casual observer, it's a lot more surprising that a black man became President.

To clarify - I expressed surprise at the American Idol guy being runner-up, Seece then said he was more surprised by a black person becoming President. I didn't disagree with him there, other than to say that an openly gay President would be even less likely.

Okay yeah you're definitely right on that one
