gs> [I]f Colorado Springs is allegedly gay-hateful, and is thus intolerant,
    how can Boulder claim the mantle of tolerance when it hates the PKers?
    Aren't both merely prejudicial attitudes?""

bw> It is entirely appropriate to be "prejudicial" against someone who be-
    lieves and advocates an evil, life-destructive philosophy.

  How am I to judge your claims about the PKers versus their claims about
  gays and (say) pro-abortion-rights folks?

bw> This is entirely different than engaging in hate- and fear-mongering 
    against a group of people who are merely living their own lives the way
    they see fit.

  And the PKers feel the same about folks like you who hate them. They have
  nothing against you personally -- they even claim to hate the sin, but not
  the sinner. 

  So far, I don't much difference between you, them, and the reasons for the
  respective objects of hate.
