Again, I think we ought to all feel a little creeped out when a majority picks on a minority. As they say, just subsitute "black" for "gay" and see how the story looks. creepy. Or 'jewish' or 'arab' or any minority.
What about when a minority picks on a majority?
Besides which these people(the pickers) are a minority of the majority so it can be argued that this is a case of the minority(the pickers) picking on the minority(the pickees).
