Josh, that was an informed and articulate explanation of how many in the opposition feel. I’d like to elaborate in that a core reason is also simply that people are afraid of change, especially during uncertain times. This is part of the appeal of organized religion. Who doesn’t want to feel validated? One of the best ways to accomplish this is by belonging to a group of like-minded individuals. Ironically, at the beginning of the last century, many states had laws against biracial marriage, not to mention that the public overwhelmingly disapproved of it. History teaches us that equality is rarely ever achieved without struggle.

Jen – What are the circumstances surrounding these individuals? Are they homeless? Are they preaching on the street corner? I really don’t think that any one race has a monopoly on a certain behavior. Generally speaking, environment will have more of an impact on individuals behavior. Quite often when I’m at the transit center downtown or when I’m on the Light Rail I’ll see any number of different people of all races acting oddly. But how do I know that what’s odd to me is normal for them? Personally I enjoy the ‘theatre’ of the city and marvel at how so many different people coexist relatively peacfully!

Kerrie – IMHO ‘Queer Eye’ is relatively harmless in that although it somewhat glorifies traditional gay stereotypes, it also by it’s mere existence lends a more positive light on gay people in general. Being that the ‘Fab 5’ come off caring and genuine it can only help people who don’t know (or aren’t aware they know) any gay people to not be so afraid of them. The sad irony however will be in an upcoming episode where the guys help a couple that are about to be married since of course they themselves cannot be legally married to their partners in the state of NY.
