I think you are absolutely correct about the mandate of the minority. It is unhealthy for us, as a society, to concentrate and celebrate our differences when we spend so little time inculcating our commonalities into our children and our adults. It is what we have in common that will keep us together as a nation- and I think you are 100% correct that special laws and special treatment increase tension as opposed to reducing it- it may drive the tension underground but it is still there.

However, I do not think taking this position supports the horrible people who beat people up because they are gay. One of the common virtues we can support in our society is love of our neighbors, and tolerance. Those values needn't be aimed at one particular segment of society to be effective. There - no more PMS- see what a kinder gentler person I am?
