There is a difference between not agreeing with homosexuality and being intolerant. On one hand you can disagree but live and let live... on the other hand you disagree and also seek to stop it.

I think this is where the disagreement above stems from.


The problem is, it is a very fine line. Your position on homosexuals verges upon but doesn't seem to cross the line of intolerance (EDIT: though I agree with Sweetpea that spouting your point of view is not the most tolerant of acts). Many people who express a point of view such as yours *are* intolerant. It isn't a difficult conclusion to reach.



Ustwo, you don't need to act on your bigotry for it to be bigotry. You can be a hermit and still be a bigot.
