I think the difference is her fervor against it. I know gay people, I've had gay friends, my wife has gay uncles. I don't care. I don't, however, enjoy watching men kiss each other. I do, however, LOVE seeing women kiss each other. Does this make me a bad person? Of course not! I'm 100% tolerant of it. If she had made a passing comment like "Blech!" and let it be... I don't see that as wrong or biggoted at all. But the fact that she went on and on about it... that might push the envelope. How do you draw the line of someone being intolerant? If Jen's uncles were here for the holidays and gave each other a New Year's Kiss... good for them. I'm not saying DON'T do it... it doesn't mean I have to like it... just that I have to not be a dick about it. So I guess I'd have to have been there to agree she's a biggot. Maybe she is, maybe it was beer talking. Who knows?!
