Certainly not the bigot that made the comment. Isn't it about time for you to troll the school yards for another wife?

She was 20 when I first met her, and I was 36. We are still married after 2 years of dating and 31 years of marriage. I believe that is all legal. Maybe you should look for another husband.

Mayor Pete apparently has great judgement. The American Psychiatric Association would have classified him as having a mental illness less than 60 years ago.

1959? If you love that year so much, why not let Vol football play with a 1959-approved roster?

I wonder how many games we'd win?

You wouldn't even be able to sit down and have lunch with Jarrett Guarantano in 1959 without causing a problem, but Mayor Pete not hiding in the closet so you don't have to confront the darkness in your own soul is the real issue here?

"Darkness in my own soul?" LMAO!!! I'm not seeing a connection between The American Psychiatric Association in 1959 and racism. Is Guarantano gay too?

I'm saying past bigotry, from the APA or laws sanctioned by every state in the South during Jim Crow, doesn't exempt your current bigotry.

Let's judge people on how they treat others, not on who they love. Based on this criteria, Donald Trump is a moral cesspool.

It was actually 1973 when homosexuality was no longer considered a mental illness, and we had some damn good football teams from about 1965 until then. At that point, I could have sat down with Guarantano and had lunch anywhere I wanted to. The problem is that I don't really want to have lunch with him or anybody else on any team of any color. I don't worship athletes.

I'm sure that Trump is as concerned about your opinion of him as I am of your opinion of me.

I appreciate that you made that connection. Was I a bigot for refusing to vote for Trump due to his moral actions--primarily including his adulterous affairs? Will I be a bigot for refusing to vote for him in '20?

Sure you do. Own it. Calling the man a bigot and then running from it is cowardly.

So a person who says bigoted, homophobic things on a website is irredeemable? Pretty Puritanical world view you have there.

I think most people are intrinsically good, and we all make mistakes along the way.

What are you even talking about?

You didn't mention actions. You mentioned properties... What he is. Go back and read your reply. You didn't say, people who say... You packaged the opinion that he is a bigot, then claimed not to know enough to form an opinion about him.

Pretty puritanical view you have there.

Now, i would like you to answer the more interesting question I asked. Was it bigoted of me to refuse to vote for Trump due to his sexual activities?

I come from a different generation than most on here, plus I have had close dealings with maybe 10 male homosexuals. I know more than that, but have had 3 work for me and know 7 or 8 more pretty well. I consider most to be friends, and congratulated the ones that got married on their marriages. Having said that, I consider all to be overly dramatic or drama queens. I would not vote for someone like that to be President. Sorry, the ones that I know pretty well, I don't consider to be very stable emotionally, and seem to want attention. Just my anecdotal experience.

Plus, I don't like Mayor Pete's attack on Pence and religion, even though I'm not religious. It seems to me that Mayor Pete wants attention because of the way he has sex. He wants to make a big deal out of it. I support his right to live his life the way he wants to live it, but I won't be forced to consider it to be normal. If that makes me a bigot, fine. I think it makes me a person with an opinion different than yours.

You seem pre-disposed to read more sinister intent into my original reply than was intended. I am happy to apologize if I have unfairly impugned anyone's character. I still think that people who aren't bigots do care about bigoted language. I still think that if you do and say bigoted stuff repeatedly, then you are a bigot.

I can't understand the logic of your second question. Why would a single vote make you a bigot? Are you saying the only criteria you used to judge Trump was his adultery? I guess I am a bigot by that logic too, then. I have not voted for several candidates for this reason.

To bring this back around: if Mayor Pete cheats on his husband and acts like turd about it like Trump or Clinton, then I would think he's morally unqualified to lead the country. No difference really.

If you can't keep that vow, why would I trust your vow to uphold the Constitution? What am I missing?

A hard d*** has no conscience. That has nothing to do with upholding the Constitution.
