| 46. Question: Why does it seem whites are not sympathetic to discrimination of gays? |

Question: Why does it seem straights are not sympathetic to discrimination of gays?
Question: Why does it seem Americans are not sympathetic to discrimination of gays?
Question: Why does it seem Christians are not sympathetic to discrimination of gays?
All of these are generalizations. More importantly, why do most Americans not support gay equality? I'm less concerned about the number of African Americans who don't support it than I am about white Americans who don't support it.
Idiotic question.
