In giving a speech at school about tolerance of gay and lesbian people, I mentioned that the importance of bringing an end to homophobia was equal to the importance of bringing an end to racism. Afterward an African-American Catholic girl approached me and said she did not like being compared to gay people, because ‘you can choose, and we cannot.’ I tried to explain to her about how we can’t choose, and how tolerance was still equally important, but I did not want to bash her religion. What should I do in such an instance?
