Homosexuals need to know the difference between acceptance and tolerance

[Flaylo]

They are not the ******* same, I don't have to accept gay marriage and homosexual behavior in order to be tolerant of it. If I don't harass, bother, discriminate, or physically assault anyone and treat them with respect when I do have to interact with them I am being tolerant. Get over it and stop trying to force people to accept your bullshit.

I have to agree. Tolerance does not equal acceptance. It means "putting up with".

Trying to force people to accept and embrace gay marriage and homosexual behavior as "love" and talking that homophobe bullshit when people refuse to accept it is intolerance.

To tolerate is to keep your mouth shut and to not care, not to protest and push for unconstitutional shit like prop 8.

Dissent is a constitutionally protected right, telling people to shut the **** up and stay quiet unless you agree with me is not constitutional and is intolerant.

Tolerance and acceptance are not the same, I can disagree with anyone I want and as long as I don't mistreat them and I respect them I am being tolerant.

The Chick Fil A owner and any person who disagrees with gay marriage are seen as homophobes, even the ones who don't harass nor mistreat gays, what they're saying is that unless you accept their gay marriage and homosexual behavior as love you're a homophobe.

How was my thread homophobic? You implied so, and my thread was explaining a difference between two things that are often mistaken to be one and the same.

I don't think as far as him expressing his views he did anything wrong but I was just curious what gays did to force their views on people. And I might agree with you somewhat..
