Not much of a student of U.S. history but weren't papists discriminated against in the south well into the 20th century?
Also don't kid yourself about the Nazis and the Catholic church they loved each other and it wasn't just the Nazis that the vatican cozied up with, they were buddies with every fascist regime in Europe.

Very true people are stupidly discriminated against just for being gay however, even though clarksdb is a knobend he did touch on a valid point. People make pretty strong misogynistic, borderline or even outright racist posts without censure but use the word faggot and you're gone. There is a double standard. In the past I've posted using the word gay to mean weak and feeble and was immediately attacked as being a homophobe, which I'm not.(nothing wrong with loving the cock) However people can get away with date rape jokes, racial stereotyping etc without anyone batting an eyelid.
Let's face it, people still get discriminated against just for being wymins and darkies.
