So you should treat people poorly because of their choices, like picking the wrong religion, but not things they were born with.

Sound reasonable?

Presumably people's religion is important to them, to their families, to their communities, to their identity, they derive some benefit from it and it would be painful for them to change their religion.

None of this applies to being fat.

I don't even disagree with the overall message of the episode, you're just making horrendous arguments here. Louie didn't really 'treat her poorly' other than the 'you're not fat' comment, which isn't even an incredibly offensive comment in itself.

If there were a treatment to turn me straight, you wouldn't be telling me that I should take it so people wouldn't treat me like poo poo.

This is a really odd comment to make. A big point of gay acceptance and gay rights is precisely the idea that being gay cannot be changed and isn't a choice. Because it cannot be changed and is not a choice, we treat it the way we do. If it were another thing, we would treat it differently. Because it wouldn't be the same thing.
