Sorry but by
definition it is absolutely correct, you cannot be 'pretty much a bigot' its either you are or you are not, or perhaps then in the eyes of some she is pretty much
not a bigot, if your opinion is based on personal experience or on the reason of knowing others experience it is suffiecent by definition to fall well outside the realm of bigotry.
I spent many years around many homosexuals within the wider community, I spent many years even standing up for them while others were against them. To my regret I can categorically state today I was both niave and stupid to do so. When you say 'one or two individuals' I take it your refering to the very 'tiny minority' who perhaps could without doubt remain above reproach on this issue, as out of 100's or so I could name but wont for varying reasons some of which should be obvious there is but a couple that as far as I am aware would have no need to be on that list.
