People. Are. Stupid.

I was just browsing through Dan Savage's blog, and this particularly repugnant poster basically said that gay people should stop bitching about discrimination because being gay was a choice, unlike being black or being Jewish.

What. The. Fuck?

First, being gay is absolutely not a choice, and second? Last time I checked, Judaism was not a race, it was a religion and religion is completely, 100% a choice.

Seth, that person just commented to Dan Savage's blog to piss off people like you and I.

Most people who read Dan's blog know he is gay and the bulk of the people are totally down with the whole to each his own thing and don't make stupid statements like that, unless they are specifically trying to get a rise out of us.

Just ignore it for what it is.

BTW-Hi! Long time no talk. :)

*baffled* Sometimes—well, a lot of the time—I am utterly astounded by the ignorance of people like that.
