It's interesting that people don't believe you can be this way. Many democrats dislike religion yet don't treat most religious people badly; there's no fundamental difference between that and any other trait or belief that would prevent someone from ignoring it while interacting with someone who has it.

Because many of us understand that there isn't a meaningful difference between personal interaction and political action.

The above person treats the gay people he meets with civility when he interacts with them personally. He also votes for political movements who want to dissolve their marriage and want to treat being gay as something to be hidden from public view.

That is not respecting gay people. That is not treating them as equals. It does not matter how nice and polite you are to someone's face if you vote against them being able to live fulfilling lives.
