Here's what I'm wondering and I'm sure y'all can clear this up for me... So everyone of you who has responded to my comment would most likely call yourself tolerant. Tolerant of homosexuals and the like. You say they can do/think what they like and we should all love and accept them they way they are. Ok. So why can you not tolerate me? Isn't it the same difference of why I don't tolerate gays? You tolerate gays because you believe it isn't wrong but you are hateful towards those who don't share your view. What's the difference? I for one do not hate gays and I hope my words did not come off as hateful towards them. But at the same time I will say that it is wrong. That is not hateful. My opinion on homosexuality is a very, very unpopular one. I get much hate for how I feel about it. And its hate from all of those who declare that we should love and accept everyone just the way we are. So what makes me an exception?

  • There's a distinct line between agreeing and tolerating. You have your own opinion and by all means I respect and tolerate that you abide by that mindset, but that doesn't mean anyone has agree with what you're saying.

  • And of course I don't ask for everyone to agree with me. I just ask for civility.

  • Well, here's how I would respond to that, though I can't speak for others. I [i]do[/i] tolerate you, though I disagree with your opinion. Another important clarification: your stance is an opinion, and homosexuality is not. As a result, your opinion on this matter essentially seems to be to ostracize others based on what they cannot control, based on belief, and belief alone. I disagree with you, then, because in my opinion, people should be able to live their lives how they want, but your opinion would directly contradict this. Frankly, I don't care what you actually think or believe, it's your life. But once that results in someone else's entire lifestyle having to change, when it really can't, then there's a problem. tl;dr, I do in fact tolerate you, but I don't tolerate it when the idea results in someone else being marginalized for who they are

  • I guess I feel kind of the same way. The only reason I posted about it was because he asked for opinions. I really don't bring up the topic of homosexuality unless I'm asked because its pretty touchy. But each person has a choice in what they believe and how they live. And that's cool. I just hate when I get hated on for my views by people that are telling me I should be less hateful haha.
