Discrimination Hurts

The gay advocate will claim that racism hurts other people, but that being gay doesn't.

They are wrong. Racists reject other people for jobs, housing, and educational opportunities based on a persons race, and that hurts people. But it is not racism that causes the hurt, it is the rejection, or in other words, the discrimination that hurts.

Gays can also discriminate against non-gays. Anyone can discriminate based on any reason. It is discrimination that hurts other people, not racist feelings.
