I have been dealing with the left since the early 90s, mostly debating on editorial pages then the net. They are the most intolerant folks around. The political right is not even close. I'm glad Andrew Sullivan spoke up - I had a short e-mail exchange with him a number of years back over a disagreement - he was more than gracious.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

But that is a complete side track, yet again.

Your bible tells you so. Heterosexuals, for all the problems they have navigating through life, at least don't have to buck THAT current as well."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Heterosexual marriages fail half the time and the other half have ups and downs, but nonetheless they are spared laws making their marriage even more difficult than it needs to be.
Otherwise, you sound like someone telling a cripple to suck it up, even athletes get bruises!
Though 'crippled' may be entirely too nice a comparison. What if the cripples have a keen and abiding interest in crippling the healthy? What if their victory means that We Are All Sodomites Now? What if their slattern female bffs take up the philosophy of spreading as much disease as possible to healthy people because misery loves company?
Homosexuality is an individual disease that has a well-established historical record of turning into a societal cancer. Blaming the victim is hardly the best strategy.

People justified the boycotts because it wasn't Eich's personal opinions, it was his donations. But here is another case where it is strictly based on personal opinions.

I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

It reads like something out of an Onion News article. "Your personal views differ from our own! That is unacceptable in this neighborhood of open-mindedness and tolerance! Be gone with you!"

that's because "open-minded" doesn't actually mean "being tolerant of other views" -- to liberals it means "you have to accept and conform to our views"
