    The Difference Between Tolerance and Bigotry

    Homophobic Bigot
    Insists that only heterosexuals should marry

    Tolerant

    Homophile Bigot
    Insists that only homosexuals should marry

    Believes that everyone should be treated equally

    Acceptable Etiquette

    Treat the views of these people with respect, even when you dont agree with them

    ITS OK TO ATTACK PEOPLE IN THESE ZONES


    CONCLUSIONS
    A common misconception is that those calling for equal rights for all are on the fringes of the debate in fact that would only be the case if they were asking for special privileges not afforded to others. If you espouse views that are not tolerant or reasonable, do not expect to be treated as a reasonable person, expect to have your views attacked and called what they are.
