No one is hating anyone on the thread you are referring to. People are entitled to differing opinions and I think it has been respectful. If you want to live in a homogenous society, there is always either of the Korea's. However, you might not fit because Korean acceptance of LGBT is a lot less progressive than here in the US.

I'm sorry it upsets you that people think differently than you, but this is America, get used to it.

BTW, gay people don’t bother me in the slightest, but I do have the capacity to intellectualize without judgment that other people do not share my same beliefs and I accept that everyone does not have to think just like me.  Part of being an accepting and open person is being able to see all sides of an argument and knowing that people come from diverse back grounds.

To a point.  But there comes a point where you move beyond "I must be tolerant of beliefs that I disagree with" to "These beliefs are abhorent and destructive to the very concept of decency and tolerance, and I must take a stand against them."  Racism, sexism and discrimination against homosexuals are on the latter side of the line.

In other words, tolerance does not require that you tolerate intolerance.[/quote]
