Should I delete the bigoted comment or let it stand...
Advertisements [?]
I've been reading the debates here in GLBT about whether bigoted comments should be deleted or replied to forcefully and allowed to stand with a good response.

A week ago I uploaded a video to Youtube that, among other things, excoriated Michele Bachmann for the bigoted things she said a day or two earlier. The video can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PZwQalcKu4

I got an email late last night that someone had responded to the video. All commments can be seen here ---> http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=6PZwQalcKu4

The comment started with "Gays already have equality with marriage... Gay can have hetrosexual marriage just like hetrosexuals can"

My first impulse was to delete the comment. Then I remembered the debate here. Should I delete it? If not, do you all here want to assist me with coming up with a suitable response. Do you want to respond yourselves?
