Most of the gay people I’ve interacted with have been really cool people, tolerant, interesting and fun to be around.

Most of the Christians, at least those who wore their religion on their sleeve, not so much.  
Of course, every group or community has its share of assholes and idiots, but I hate those people as a matter of course, regardless of whether they’re being led around by their dick or their faith.

I’m an atheist (buddhist). I try my best to fight for the rights of gay people (I’m sort of a timid person by nature so my overall effectiveness is up in the air).
