Conservative != bigot/anti-gay.
We do have a brood of reactionaries attempting to blur that distinction like they always do, but there are plenty of conservatives who do not share that particular bias.
- Thorentis 7y agoBigot: a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions. (http://english.oxforddictionaries.com/bigot http://english.oxforddictionaries.com/bigot) I have met plenty of bigots on both sides of politics. But immediately trying to call me out on labeling this man a conservative by saying he is actually a bigot is, ironically, bigotry itself.
- MaxBarraclough 7y ago__jal's comment was ambiguous. I think they may have been saying the opposite: that not all conservatives are bigots, and that it's unfair on conservatives to brand bigotry as conservatism.
