Oh, yes, of course not. Holding any one person or group responsible for any of society's wrongs isn't exactly what I was going for. Anyway, the original point was just that it pains me to see negativity replied to with more negativity. The latter being your agitation, regardless of whether or not you expressed it directly to her. I guess what I'm saying is, I would have continued to be kind to her only because I wouldn't have any reason not to -- difference in opinion is of no consequence -- and that in itself would have made dealing with agitation easier. It is doubtful that she would have responded kindly to you if you had confronted her about her opinion of homosexuals, and so there would have been nothing you could do. Thus, to me, there was no reason not to continue as if she had said nothing.
I realize that her comment affected you deeply, and I'm not trying to tell you how you ought to be or act. I just wanted to share my point of view, since so few people share it.
At least you didn't beat her over the head with an umbrella. -_-
