  It’s very sad that people still suffer for something that shouldn’t be an issue to anyone. This hate is fed to ignorant people so they don’t focus on real issues that affect their life.

  There are some cultures where bigots are more prevalent, with ignorance and religion being the main catalysts. The US has plenty of both.

  There are bigots in my country too, but they are more oppressed because here, hate is not considered free speech and culturally, most people will ostracize you if you express divisive opinions.

  On the internet they are rampant, because of the amplification effect and perceived anonymity.
