I don't especially understand the purpose or meaning of a lot of this thread, but wanted to say that being prejudiced towards a person because or sexual-orientation, race, religion or whatever.....is getting to be very old fashioned thinking and can also get a person in trouble.
The state I live in passed a law this year making it illegal to discriminate against someone because of sexual orientation. I'm sure othere states are like that too.
I work for a large company and they are also very big into diversity issues as I'm sure other companys are too. All employees were required to sit through diversity training courses to help people respect and get along with everyone depite sexaul orientation, culture , etc.
I think pregudice is and should be very out-dated. and in many places is not tolerated.
