Over and over bigots resort to the same set of tools to advance their goals. This Bigot Toolbox contains these tried and true (only because they keep getting used) methods of discrimination:
* Religion -- my Bible tells me to hate your people.
* Tradition -- but Blacks have always sat at the back of the bus.
* Public Opinion -- I'm really with you, but there just isn't enough support. We have an embarrassing history of approving tyranny of the majority.
* Patriotism -- you're destroying
* Science -- I can prove that Blacks have smaller craniums and therefore aren't as smart.
* Law -- But we've got to uphold the law! (especially church law)
* Lies -- Gays want special rights.
And when we get to lies -- which are now in abundance around gays and marriage -- your cause of defeating discrimination is getting close to winning.
