More TOLERANCE & DIVERSITY !@#$%^

[Dingo]

This is my main issue with the gay rights movement, and most of the other minority-empowerment causes. They're not striving for equality, they want us to treat them like fucking celebrities. I don't have the slightest problem with gays - like I've said before, my best friend is a die-hard lesbian (gun-owner and fellow conspiracy theorist - good people. :-) ). I don't agree with the lifestyle because it's in conflict with my religion, so I choose not to celebrate/practice it. I have no problem with somebody else making a different choice. My issue is when they want the red carpet treatment just because they're a minority.

The priest isn't under any obligation to change his views, just because a pair of poofs got butt-hurt by his. Any more than they're under an obligation to attend his church in the first place! For fuck's sake...

Not just that, and I too have no problems with the GLBT community (several friends who fit that moniker), they don't want just equality/acceptance, they want any dissent treated as morally horrid and wrong, much like people who thought (or still think) other colors are lesser people. They want anyone who disagrees tarred and feathered and treated as a bigot and akin to racists. They want to silence disagreeing or contrary opinions. It's not enough that they get their way, they want to get their way and everyone else to get in lock step behind their beliefs and accept it. Well I don't give a crap what they do behind closed doors, more power to them, however I don't agree with it, I don't want any part of it, and they won't let me just be left alone. Screw 'em.
