What does tolerance have to do with defending your beliefs?
I'll support your right to believe in crazy shyt, but i'm not gonna defend your crazy shyt for you.
It doesn't, it has something to do with bullying people who disagree with you on an issue.
Let's be real- gays still don't have equal rights across the country, and the reason for that is the equal rights camp is still the minority in most places. Calling people advocating for those minority rights "intolerant" when they criticize a majority opinion, the one responsible for suppressing them, can only be the result of a skewed perspective.
There's a pattern with this behavior I've noticed with this man's defenders. Somehow the person expressing the initial intolerance ("gays are just like thieves, murderers, pedophiles, and bestiality practitioners," "Black people were happier before civil rights") is just practicing "free expression," but responses criticizing them are just intolerant and unreasonable.
Besides, liberal tolerance doesn't extend to anti-liberal intolerance, and why should it? Would you defend some anti-Semite like this? I don't know why people expect liberals to defend the people who want liberalism destroyed, and then complain when they don't. No other group is held to that ridiculous standard.
Uh yeah, I don't think gays are like murderers, thieves, pedophiles, etc. so I don't fall into that category. People should be allowed to think homosexuality is wrong for religious reasons, there is nothing wrong with that. If we're going to be real here, let's be real. Many in the pro-gay crowd are on a vicious crusade to destroy anyone who believes homosexuality is wrong because their religion says so. A gay couple tried to destroy some Christian dude who didn't want to bake a cake for their wedding. Will Smith was accused of homophobia because he didn't want to kiss another man in the mouth. Roy Hibbert was fined for informing people he is straight. The pro-gay crowd consists of a bunch of lunatics, honestly.
And lol @ comparing homophobia to racism or ethnic-based prejudice... One of the most ridiculous fallacies out there.
