You can say that my not accepting intolerance is paradoxical and maybe hypocritical. You won't hear that from me because I'm the same way. The move by some cities and states to formalize gay marriage was a good example of what you outlined It is. If it's a case where there are majorities in favor of pragmatic measures like work benefits for gay partners, civil unions, etc. that would be the starting point. It would be. And things were going fine, seems to me. Acceptance of work benefits was spreading and civil unions were getting some traction. Until the movement overreached. If you get in people's faces, if you get up on a moral high horse, if you make a federal case out of it, you get a backlash. You get proposals for a constitutional amendment to stop it. And the momentum has been lost. So much for your human right. The school clubs being victimized in that article are another great example of local initiative that shouldn't be knocked down by folks who are prejudiced. I agree with you, but you have to pick your fights if you want to win.
