+ What's wrong with pushing those who are not very smart to get an education and a career? Those people have children to feed and bills to pay.
She lives in her own privileged bubble and is completely blind to what's going on in the real world.
An equal society is impossible given the very old institutionalized system (which was solely created to benefit a particular group) in place however she should be the last person to speak on equitability.

110% this. She speaks for an extremely small minority of people, ironically. She is not intelligent, I'm sorry, and she didn't destroy a damn thing.

What an odd example to give, as it involves an extreme generalization of the gay population and a logic of comparison that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm not sure I can even begin to try and understand the point you're making here about there being billions who have faith vs. millions of gays in the world. So you noticed a handful of gay people here making some comments about religion and extrapolated that to some greater statement on society? The reasoning here makes no sense other than to justify the belief that, "Well it's ok if gays are not facing equal treatment because I know some gays who don't like religious institutions so they have it coming."
Also, because there are "billions" of people who do or claim something, they are automatically what is right in the world and the "millions" who might not agree couldn't possibly have views that matter on the topic and are automatically wrong? I know plenty of gay people who have spiritual beliefs and moral values of a traditional standard and some that choose not to; it's a personal choice, not something specific to one's sexual orientation or race and not something that can be broken down by such broad classifications of people. I'm not sure how your attempted point does anything but showcase how some self-proclaimed "conservatives" get counter-defensive in the discussion of equality by automatically seeking to discredit groups who have historically had valid points of complaint about the state of equal rights.
