I care about discrimination, which does not require prejudice and bigotry. It is about power dynamics and group advantage. You can like homosexuals and not believe the stereotypes but not want homosexuals to get married because it threatens heterosexual advantage.
As I always say, I don't care if people like me or how they FEEL about any of my group identities. They can think all Black women are dumb hood chicks for all I care. Just don't try to discriminate on the basis of my group identities.

I understand that. I see fighting stereotypes and bigotry as part of fighting discrimination, however no one person can focus on everything.
