Thing is - I've known people who are more rigidly conservative than me. Much more so on this topic. Religious types. Nice people, but by your lights,
you'd think of them as "fundies" and "bigots". They are not.

No, I'm afraid your friends are bigots. Maybe they are very nice bigots, but they are bigots. I've known a few nice bigots.
I'm friends with a few of them. But if I ever hear them saying somethign bigoted in front of me I don't let them get away with it. I call them on it.
Just because they're magical sky pixie says its okay to hate gays (and blacks and jews and left-handed people and whatever) doesn't mean it actually is
okay and the sooner they understand that the sooner they can stop being bigots.

I'm also glad your friends are all for gays having equal rights, just not actual equal rights right now.

(P.S. Government should FORCE equality? That sort of talk scares the crap out of me. I'm reminded of "Harrison Bergeron" whenever I hear
shit like that.)

Please. Equality doesn't mean that we literally make everyone equal. Equality means we give everyone equal rights and protections and
priveleges under the law, nothing more nothign less.

And yes, the government should force it. They forced it when it came to civil rights for African Americans, back when 70% of your country supported
miscegenation laws, seperate drinking fountains and seperate schools.
