It's impossible to explain the principal and importance of equality under the law, to bigots, because they fundamentally do not believe in it. They believe they should have the right to mistreat others according to their liking, because they believe they are the superior beings, and as the superior beings, they have the right to do as they please to their inferiors. And what's surprising is that they don't even see this in themselves. The presumption of their own superiority is so complete that it's invisible to them, like the air they breath.
Once again you have it upside down and backwards.
There IS no equality possible except under the system of Christianity.
The fact that even Christian denominations and cults often fail to achieve this perfection
just shows how difficult it is.
Why?
Because sin is involved, not bigotry.
You can't have "equality" for lawbreakers, such as murderers or rapists.
Equality only applies to law abiding citizens,
and for it to work, we have to agree on what the law is.
The reason there is a controversy over equality for homosexuals,
is that a large part of the population regards homosexuality as a crime.
One thing 'law abiding' homosexuals and Christians can agree upon,
if they are truly 'pro-community' and pro-rights of children,
is that pedophilia and child molestation and the attempt to brainwash children
to accept molestation by adults is still a crime under ANY system.
In that case, pedophiles and 'educators' like the NAMBLA group are still criminals,
and so have sacrificed their "equal rights" under the law when found guilty,
whether they are homosexuals or not.
There is a fundamental difference between arguing for 'equality' for
racial groups or gender, and arguing for 'freedom to pursue sexual deviancy'.
No one can effectively choose their ethnic origin or sex,
and even if this can be medically 'modified' its too expensive for 99.9% of the population.
Thus its wrong to solve the problem of racism or gender-bias by simply
altering someone's race or gender, because you can't provide EQUALITY,
due to economic restraints. The best way then, is for people to simply
accept race and gender as legitimate categories for pursuing equality
in some other way, such as social acceptance.
The problem with 'Equality' for sexual preference, is that it involves criminal law.
Those who oppose the criminalization of sexual perversion already
a priori reject that the law and moral and ethical standards are sourced
from and imposed by God. Instead, they deny there is a God who cares
and imposes morality upon humankind, and they reject laws and criminal codes
which the majority of humankind accepts.
Thus there is a fundamental division between people:
Those who believe in a moral and ethical God who teaches moral behaviour
and imposes laws and obligations upon us,
and those who do not accept the existance and ethical standards of
a God who interferes in history.
There can be no equality as long as these two parties exist,
because they fundamentally embrace different legal and criminal codes.
Homosexuals cannot find "equality" in the criminal code of God-believers,
and God-believers find an EQUAL amount of bigotry, prejudice and hostility
from unbelievers who want to impose a radically more lax legal and criminal code upon everyone.
The end result is that
where non-believers have more power,
they interfere with believers' rights to raise and educate their own children,
and their rights to practice their religion and have their own criminal code,
and legal code.
Where believers have more power,
they will interfere with non-believers' "rights" to engage in activities
which are crimes under the believers' criminal code and legal laws.
There can never be a system which actually embraces both groups,
and provides equality between them.
In every case, someone must ultimately choose which laws or criminal code
will be enforced, and which one will not be enforced.
Mixed criminal codes and legal codes do not and cannot provide "equality" either
between groups of different sexual preference, because the two groups
have fundamentally opposing criminal codes.
This is not a question of bigotry, or lack of education, or confusion,
or ignorance, but a question of conflicting ideologies,
and branding either group as 'bigots' is a disengenious falsehood, and slander,
under BOTH criminal codes.
