Yeah, we tried that. I watched it happen regularly from the time I was a teen in the 70s. Look around today. All it got most of us is abuse and hate from the very ones we were encouraged to accept and to coexist with. Anyone who cannot see that, doesn't WANT to see it. I've never gone out of my way to be hateful to any racial group or those who were gay. I still don't.
OTOH, if any of these sick ***** who prey on the minds of innocent kids happens to come at me with abuse, and expect me to "live and let live", they are likely to experience some poor outcomes...
