64. I havent personally experienced bigotry
-I'm a white heterosexual female (sexism really isn't that big down here, at least where i am), but everyone, and i mean EVERYONE uses gay as an insult (e.g. "That's so gay!", "You're such a fag!", etc). And I get really mad when people do that because I believe in equality and love. Ironically, it's the kids at my church group that use anti-gay slurs the most often (I go on a church trip and I couldn't count the number of times the word "gay" or "fag" or whatever was used in a negative context). So much for them "loving Christians"...:eyes:
