An honest answer to a dishonest question

Several times, I've heard people pose the question as to why it was okay for gay people to "hate" right wing, while the evangelicals aren't allowed to hate homosexuals (or the right tries to frame it...hate the sin of homosexuality).

 The question itself  is a red herring, much akin to claiming liberals are waging a war on Christianity; an attempt to deflect blame for the growing social tensions.

The answer to the false question is nevertheless simple. Homosexuals have never beheaded, beaten, imprisoned or institutionalized Christians in the name of their orientation. Whatever fear or disdain a gay person may feel for someone who thinks their personal religious views should be the law of the land is thoroughly justified.
