"The answer is yes and no," he said. "You live on the edge with the simple fact that you can come to South Carolina, spend your money getting here, and someone can come in and say, 'I'm sorry; you can't stay here because you're gay.'"

Comment: Actually, being gay is not a choice. And bigotry SHOULD be used regarding your views. No one said that bigots should be required to act a certain way, just that their views are bigotry.
Everyone is entitled to be a bigotted fool. but they are still bigotted fools.
BTW, would you say that not liking a certain religion is not bigotry, since that is also a choice?

Comment: except that 95% of the time you would not know if someone was gay or not. I can all but guarantee you that you are around them and do not know it.

Comment: It has everything to do with hating gay people. SC is a homophobic state full of hateful conservatives. As a resident there are a few people who are tolerant but none in state government. If the conservatives in this state knew how much "gay" money is spent in this state by the gay residents and tourists, they'd change their opinions. They also forget that the gay residents pay taxes and vote too.
