bigot

Bigotry lives not just in our words, but in our actions, thoughts, and institutions.

The scientist believes in proof without certainty, the bigot in certainty without proof.

Prejudice is an act of violence.

It's not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about.

Excessive praise arises from the same bigotry matrix as excessive criticism.

Bigotry against any group should be disqualifying for high office.

Electing a bigot enables further bigotry.

I've fought for religious freedom and I can tell you that anti-gay 'religious freedom' bills aren't it.

Today's 'religious freedom' policies should not be seen as a problem limited to LGBT people but as a co-optation of religion that affects us all.

When you've grown up mis-educated, surrounded by fear and hate, unaware of your privilege, lies can sound like the truth.

Beware of anyone who calls you bad names merely for asking honest questions.

When people misjudge, they inhale and exhale with obstinate, stagnant prejudice." ~ Angelica Hopes, If I Could Tell You

When we hide discrimination under the guise of 'religious freedom,' we make a mockery of human rights.

While there is no shame in being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex - or even straight (but not narrow) - there is most certainly shame and dishonor in being a homophobe, a transphobe and a bigot.

The sad truth about bigotry is that most bigots either don't realize that they are bigots, or they convince themselves that their bigotry is perfectly justified.

The same people who wear shirts that read __uck your feelings_ and rail against __olitical correctness_ seem to believe that there should be no social consequences for [voting for Trump]. I keep hearing calls for empathy and healing, civility and polite discourse. As if supporting a man who would fill his administration with white nationalists and misogynists is something to simply agree to disagree on.Absolutely not. You don__ get to vote for a person who brags about sexual assault and expect that the women in your life will just shrug their shoulders. You don__ get to play the victim when people unfriend you on Facebook, as if being disliked for supporting a bigot is somehow worse than the suffering that marginalized people will endure under Trump. And you certainly do not get to enjoy a performance by people of color and those in the LGBT community without remark or protest when you enact policies and stoke hatred that put those very people__ lives in danger.Being socially ostracized for supporting Trump is not an infringement of your rights, it__ a reasonable response by those of us who are disgusted, anxious, and afraid. I was recently accused by a writer of __ote shaming_ _ but there__ nothing wrong with being made to feel ashamed for doing something shameful.

Privilege is when you can afford to sit back and watch as others' rights are trampled upon.

Urging an organization to be inclusive is not an attack. It's progress.
