It's always amusing to read the Daily Mail's highest rated comments under articles like these, shows how bigoted all their readers are

Top rated: "So there's freedom of expression when it comes to gay rights, but hetrosexual concerned parents have none. I see. Bit of an extremist one way street, isn't it"

3rd highest rated: "Those customers have every right to protest that cover. Believe it or not, our freedom of expression in this country extends to freedom of our individual ideas and beliefs, as well, regardless of whether or not they're popular or the "norm" -- just as the gays do. To hell with political correctness!"

Very true and if they want to believe that then go ahead. What annoys me is the way that they fervently deny having anything against gay people but you'll find them repeatedly taking the anti-homosexual point of view; they wouldnt be happy until it was forced back into the closet and eliminated throughout the whole of society.

I wasnt trying to say they were wrong exactly, I was just pointing out what I consider to be the bigoted nature of the majority of their readers.
