Faggot is a slang word.
Bigot is a legitimate word.
However both ARE derogatory terms and offensive.
The word bigot itself is not derogatory. YOU the one who deem it offensive.

Fine Annee, I've rubbed elbows with both Atheists and Christians my whole life. Does that help or do you really want me to sit here and count how many Atheists I've known over the years?

That personally has never happened to me...I have always being attracted to the opposite sex..I never made a choice to be straight..I just was.
So your own personal experience applies to the whole spectrum of homosexuality? Because you personally "didn't make a choice" means EVERYONE is exactly the same as you??
I never said that did I. What about you..why do you assume the whole group should be shunned or be thought of as perverse?
Your own personal hang ups? Why do your care what two people do behind closed doors? Why does it bother you when same sex couples want rights? How in the end does any of that affect you personally?
Why are you in this thread making judgements of people because of your own personal issues?

I'm bisexual
Maybe that's why you feel that being gay is a choice?

Please feel free to quote anything I've said that has anything to do with judgment or claiming homosexuality is perverse.

You really need a dictionary pal.
Ok "pal"
big·ot
a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
How is that offensive?

OK..what about when you compared homosexuals to pedophiles.
How about when you decided it wasn't natural?
Homosexuals and pedophiles are not even the same thing and it is disgusting and ignorant of you to claim they are.
Wow that is impressive. So if we can all outright determine that pedophilia is wrong without question and without debate...then why is it harder to determine whether it's wrong or right to be homosexual? Just to be clear we agree that an adult having sexual relations with a child is wrong, yes? Yet we can't agree on whether members of the same gender having sexual relations is right or wrong? Aren't they both outside of the "norm"? Yet one act is justified while the other is not......why??
Bigotry is a state of mind where a person obstinately, irrationally, unfairly or intolerantly dislikes other people, ideas, etc.[1][2] Some examples include personal beliefs, race, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other group characteristics.

Nope I said they are both outside of the "norm" as in what a majority of people consider normal. I never used the word SAME thank you very much.
