not even if they have a child together.

i dont think you understand that bigotry comes in many subtle forms. one form is when you try to compare the oppressed groups transgressions as equal to that of the completely un-oppressed group.

for instance the n-word is not comparable to cracker. breeder not comparable to faggot. is breeder slightly derogatory, sure. is it comparable to faggot, no.

so yes, anyone trying to make that comparison should be laughed out of the lgbt forum.
