Yeah, that was pretty much my thoughts exactly. The whinging about their free speech and feeling oppressed by the very existence of gay people I've heard before, I get it thrown at me every day by my own family. "Just don't be that way, decent people shouldn't have to see/hear that shit." Whatever. And if I never hear another word about the 'gay agenda', it'll be too soon.

But this, ugh. It's like someone crying reverse racism - heterophobia, if such a thing did exist, cannot be compared to the kind of violence and oppression that homophobia has such a history of, for hundreds and even thousands of years. People have been beaten, tortured and killed just for being gay - not just a few, but hundreds of thousands over the years in every country and culture pretty much everywhere in the world. You can't get ten times more psychotic and violent than that, it's already at the end of the scale. Jesus.

And the facts are, no one has ever been killed or threatened with death or violence solely on the basis of being heterosexual. It just makes me sick that anyone would try to make that kind of comparison.
