you just don't see the bigotry on both sides, do you?

How many gay people has the Westboro Baptist Church killed? Even in all their hatred - none! (thankfully)

You know, that is strangely true.

Fred Phelps was a huge Democrat and personal pal of al gore, even slept over his house.

Every side has bigots, including the non-religious. And some sides are more bigoted than others.

I see bigotry on all sides involved, including from LBGT people against religious people. This image is a commentary on double standards.

I do not think that reacting negatively to the bigotry of "religious" people is actually bigotry. I would call it righteous anger.
And the fact that you ascribe it to LBGT humans as bigotry just shows how much of a bigot you are, SnappyCenter7.

I don't disapprove of gay people. I disagree with homosexuality, disagreement is not bigotry. Is it bigotry to disagree with theft or incest, even if you still treat thieves and incestuous people well despite disliking that they do? Also, while there are religious people who are prejudiced against gay people, the same can be said for non-religious people, what about them?

Not to mention, William, you completely ignored the double standard I pointed out - we Christians get ridiculed for merely disagreeing (#NotAllChristians are bigoted against homosexuals), while Muslims are given a pass to disagree to the point that they even kill gay people (#NotAllMuslims but some do).

Way to argue a red herring as a bait-and-switch. He's not talking about the Saudi government, he's talking about the /religion/ of Saudi Arabia, which is Islam, which is the absolute /darling/ of the left, and which, coincidentally, controls the Saudi government.

Ironic that Islam is the darling of the Left when the Left is predominantly atheistic and/or anti-religious. Put them under Sharia Law for a year and they'll be begging for the Spanish Inquisition if it gets them out.

Indeed. And the height of irony is how feminism, perhaps the loudest voice on the left, so militant against the so-called "patriarchy", endorses bringing sharia law, an ACTUAL patriarchy, into the west.

Some people on the left see Islam as an ally of convenience against Christianity and/or the West. Look at the leftists who try to call discrimination against Islam racism because if they called it what it was - discrimination based on religion - they'd be called out on their own discrimination against we Christians and Jews.

Also look how much flak the Westboro Baptist Church got and they (thankfully) haven't killed a single gay person. Or how so many news outlets go #notallmuslims with grooming gangs and terrorists, but are happy for all Catholics to be tarred with the same brush over the sex scandal.
