Actually, it doesn't make any difference if Akenaton hates gays or not, since the conclusion he reaches through non-hatred is exactly the same as the position of people who do hate gays.

Akenaton, Here's another question for you to refuse to answer:
I know you don't like being called a bigot, and have said several times that you are not bigoted. Can you explain how supporting legal discrimination against gay people is not a bigoted stance? I mean, really, if it's not bigotry, what is it? Bigotry is the only word I can think of right now that covers the territory.

Also, do you know that giving equal rights to black people and to women was one of the biggest things that stopped violence against them? The lynching of black folks pretty much stopped with the passage of civil rights laws, and domestic violence against women wasn't taken seriously by the police until we declared women to be full-fledged people.
