Ah, the above sounds so good, and "enlightened" - but not far above

in this NG "Jeremy" spews his hatred for homosexuals... Would you

have said the above if the original comment had been:

> > <This group sends business to gay-owned and operated B&H PHoto

> Video

> > nearly every single day> ? My guess is that you would not have

offered the same sort of comments...;-) About Jews (and presumably

Blacks) you are magnanimous; about Gays, you are derisive. I trust time

and understanding will change this...
