Ah yes, personally I agree with Alex. Although I would've said it in less harsh words... then again, he's on a rant so it's quite reasonable and expected xD. I myself am a strong supporter of tolerance and equality... but still, just because I support the fact that people should be equal, I still feel weird around a person who I know is lesbian. It's just an instinct, and I'm sure I'll get used to it since the person will most probably be a nice person and all, but you can't help the fact that you feel awkward at first. It's perfectly natural. People who don't feel comfortable around another aren't ignorant. They just carry these feelings that can be changed eventually, but -you've- gotta show tolerance for those that don't feel the same way as you do.
