84. I'll grant you the definitions of bigotry and tolerance...
and then repeat that your original post exhibited bigotry... intolerance of the stance that you perceived the gay community to have taken regarding gay marriage. And your generalization (again in your original post in which you did not call out activists specifically) tha the gay community had done a disservice to itself in "pushing" for gay marriage. The bigotry comes in your assumption first that the entire gay community is at fault, and second that there is one reason for our recent failure, and that is the gay community's (or activists') agenda of gay marriage.

It's a pity that you have a personal disrespect for me. And that it is founded on something of which I have entirely no control: "Why do I have an obvious disrespect for you personally? I claim the community suffers from a lack of political savvy in its leadership, and impatience in fulfilling short-term goals. It has also become overconfident of its social status, and dismissive of what turned out to be formidable opposition." THAT sounds intolerant... bigoted... judging me because of your perception of everyone "like" me, eh?
