No agenda , just saying expect those countries to become more homophobic as time moves on due to the reasons i mentioned before.

Imagine, for gay males, the thought of having sex with a women is equally disgusting.

What relevance does this have to the topic at hand?
Homophobia is idiotic and Mckellen is awesome. But I don't think using the word like that is so bad. I don't think any more about gay people when I say that something is gay than I think about fucking when I say fuck. The usage of that curse word has never made me think any less about fucking, that's for sure. That being said, I try not to use the word gay like that when I'm with friends who are gay, so I suppose it's a bad habit.
Edit: Just wanted to make it clear that I have nothing but contempt for people who are homophobic. For me it's as barbaric as being racist.

Similar thing is happening in the UK with the muslim and african immigrants over there , far less tolerant due to cultural issues.These are facts.
Ignore? I think you're the one missing the issue.
It may very well be the case that that may be the breakdown of which ethnicities are the most intolerant.
However, the homophobia of one group doesn't justify or allow us to ignore the homophobia of another, and we have plenty of ultra-conservative, intolerant, (and often religious) nutjobs in our country who think homosexuality is an atrocity... and this is completely independent of how many illegal Mexicans exist in our country.
The illegal Mexicans aren't the ones running for public office and trying to pass laws denying gay rights. They aren't the ones reporting the news in an intolerant, closed-minded manner either. We should work to educate everyone on the subject of equality (regardless of their ethnicity), and I really don't think that anyone (especially liberals, lmao) is explicitly saying to ignore the intolerance of aliens. Watch Fox News some time, when Bill O'Reilly goes off on one of his rants about how gay behavior shouldn't even be recognized in schools because it's not normal.
Here ya go:
These are the types of people who spread their ignorance and intolerance like wildfire. These are the people we have to be most worried about.

That's typical Fox news. I mean, some Fox news news anchor was espousing some "deather" theories last week (i.e. bin Laden not dead or died years ago and is now being used for political means).

Naw its good, his arguement was 'she thinks homosexuality is wrong, therefore she thinks we should legalize drugs, therefore she is wrong about homosexuality'

His use of a strawman arguement was exquisite.
She knocked down his strawman perfectly during the last line of the video, where she pointed out how being homosexual *isn't* illegal. lol.
