What you've just described are our nation's political parties. This is not the same as being physically disgusted by something.
'nuff said? hardly.
The habit of forming negative opinions of people based on negative opinions they themselves have is a very easy one to fall in to. But it serves no real purpose and allows no room for growth. They came to those opinions somehow, just as you came to yours.
Regarding the OP, perhaps it could turn into an interesting discussion sometime down the road, instead of immediately judging her for something she said. Anything else would seem, to me, to be a bit hypocritical. And I really don't think that being physically disgusted with homosexuality and voicing it is quite the same as bigotry.
