(13,669 posts)that he is the way he is because he doesn't try to be otherwise. You claim to not know- but say that he has no apparent desire to change. That is a judgement -
a pre-judice.
And that prejudice is just as wrong as his- just as he has NO RIGHT to say that people who fall in love with someone of the same sex do so 'by choice' and shouldn't be treated with equal respect or expect to have equal rights, neither do we have the right to condemn him as something less than us based on his physical characteristics.
If you think his bigotry justifies yours, you are no less wrong.
He, unfortunately is in a position to impact the legal aspects of this more than the average person, but all of us have a responsibility to treat others without bigotry or with a judgemental bias.
"Just"us- doesn't work, no matter which party claims the right to use it. If something is wrong for others to do, it's wrong for us to do too.
