> If you're a white heterosexual male you're probably not used to being uncomfortable because the whole world was made for you.

I was close to homeless a couple of times -- when I was younger. That didn't make the world feel like it was made for me.

> You don't feel uncomfortable when you see the police.

The last police I saw stopped their car and watched me walk down the road.

> You don't feel uncomfortable walking down your street at night by yourself.

Depends on where I am.

> You don't feel uncomfortable going to your church.

I don't believe in God. There's no evidence. There also seem to be many groups claiming their God is the correct God. The probability of picking the correct God seems low: given an infinite search space.

> You don't feel uncomfortable kissing your spouse in the street.

I don't have a spouse. And am probably not going to have a gf for a long time. I've had some health problems and the last girl I liked didn't like me back.

> In my opinion, the discomfort you're feeling is nothing compared to the others I described. So get used to it. We do the right thing because it's right, not because it's easy.

I'll take that into consideration.
