Lack of tolerance in America deplorable

Many religious types justify their hate of homosexuals by labeling it a "lifestyle choice." Let's say, despite differing views from both experts and gays themselves, that homosexuality is truely a lifestyle choice.

How does this justify an embarrassing paucity of protection under the law, at least in Cincinnati? Religions is also a lifestyle choice, and

protected as such.

The lack of tolerance of those who sit on pedestals and pass judgement is insulting to both heterosexuals and homosexuals.
