All negative prejudgements about individuals based on their actual or imagined participation in a group one decides to dislike are the same in that they produce the same distructive results and scapegoating.
The old argument about lifestyle choice rather than genetics or biology is no more valid than arguing that because someone chooses to convert to Catholicism I can discriminate against him, but not if he's born into it.
While I find dead beat parents and millions of wholesale abortions morally repugnant, I don't fear or condemn every heterosexual I meet because tens of millions of them choose to abandon or just slaughter their inconvenient babies while all but a handful of the rest choose to stand around and do nothing about it.
Afterall, some straight people are OK, I guess, as long as they don't try to shove their baby murdering lifestyle in my face.
Sounds silly, doesn't it? So does all bigotry. Until you feel it.

You're doing what you are railing against. You don't know anything about me or my judgements. Your assumptions and prejudgements are way off base.
