Let's play "spot the contradictions."
Take this article from Washington state, for instance:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002178213_webgayrights11.html

Good news, an ENDA law there after 29 years of debate.

Well, check out this gem:

"Every poll says the same people who don't want marriage equality, they also don't want gays and lesbians to be discriminated against," Murray said. "I think we're going to be able to make that distinction."

So discrimination is bad, except when it's good? Is that the "distinction?"

2. Logic and bigotry rarely go hand in hand.
More often than not, they are mutually exclusive.

One needs only look at the segregation that followed freeing the slaves to know that.
