I don't understand the anger. By their standards of 'I hate gay people' (not me, an example), then they have the right to say 'I hate straight people'. But they don't. Does this just make the anti-gay people more angry because they don't have a reflective surface to bounce off of and amplify their hatred?

My oldest niece is gay. When she announced that she was going to marry her girlfriend (it fell through), my dad said he wasn't going and my mom asked if my wife and I would take her to the wedding, which I told her we would gladly. My brother - he, on the other hand, said "I want to punch her in the face. Because if she wants to be a guy, she should be able to take a punch."

And he is a self-proclaimed christian.

I have been told by my sister that her kids want as little to do with my brother as possible because of things like this, and I give them that as much as I can. I want as little to do with my brother as possible because of things like this and other things in our past.
