"But if you are the member of a maligned minority and an example of someone like you does something with honor, dignity and courage publicly - the natural and understandable reaction would be to publicly rally behind that person."

You mean like a pedophile?

Pedophiles are justly maligned, gays aren't. That's the distinction.

You really should give up on this. There are many Roman Catholics on FR, and *not one* would defend a pedophile priest, but I'll bet most (if not all) will defend a homosexual priest who died a hero, as much a hero as any other of the rescue personnel who died at the WTC.
