Yes, I agree that the oppression which homosexuals suffered in the past is something that can't be compared to what I am talking about. I never suggested that. However, showing ANY hostility towards homosexuals for their sexual preferences is considered bigotry. So then why is it acceptable to show hostility towards men who date younger women?
