- For the simple reason that it is considered evil by the majority of
- the population. However, there are many such forms of discrimination
- that are considered acceptable in the US.
-
- For example, discrimination against child abusers, rapists, murderers..
- the list is endless. What is unique is that this is the only form of
- "evil" in the US that is considered acceptable by enough American to
- be a powerful enough political block to be able to force itself on the
