John P, I already have a long enough acquaintance of both Akenaton and GfS, based on their many, many postings both here and on a great many other threads, a long enough acquaintance to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are neither evil nor bad people...nor are they bigots. It's that simple.

You imagine them as being someone they are not.

Now, there are people out there who definitely fit your definition of "bigots"...people who truly hate gays and wish to do them harm.

Akenaton and GfS are not among those people. We've only had one such person post on this entire thread that I recall...they posted once as a supposed "Guest"...and it was either a troll trying to stir up trouble here or it was some Mudcat member on your favored side of the argument here who was trying to be an "agent provocateur" to embarrass the people on the other side of the argument (stir up trouble, in other words). Members also act as trolls when they do that.
