No one should be punished for the sins of their forefathers/mothers, especially if it wasn't even their ancestors that were responsible.

Yep! Not only is it present in some aspects of LGB, but there's also other minority groups that do this. For example, I'm mixed race, and in both of sides of my parents' cultures, people make fun of white people, they can get away with it (doesn't help that racism is defined by the whole "power+prejudice" definition now) and it's like ??? Because they're supposedly "racist" despite not having said or done anything.

Hating straight people only fuels hatred for us. We are in no position to attempt irradication of anyone.

I don't get how some don't see that then do act surprise when potential-allies-turned-homo/biphobic attacks them (note: not justified but it's not surprising when you keep on pushing and pushing until eventually they crack).

Hate the homophobes, hate the homophobia, but never hate anyone who has done nothing wrong. And those that were raised to be bigoted but have potential to be saved should be treated with respect to show them that those ideals are wrong, that homo (and bi) sexuals are not anything to be hated or feared, and that mutual respect is possible with equal rights not only under the law, but also equal treatment in society.

100% agree.
