"From what I read, it would appear that much of the United States is now become tolerant."
Hollywood and the news media would lead you to believe
that, but it ain't so. They are trying to ram it down our throats as "normal", but outside big cities, the promo is a dud.

Tolerence is on thing.
Approval is another.
To: FlatLandBeer; All
Yup and I think that was the point.
"Tolerance" is for the most part nothing more than tacit approval.
Homosexuals were clever in never really asking for "Respect" or "Courtesy" - but "tolerance" instead.

What happens if someone speaks out against homosexuality there? "There" meaning Mass.? Not being in politics, my experience could be different, but mostly it seems to be a take or leave it thing. On the other hand, people here don't generally care to argue much of anything, either, they just vote.

My brother is a policeman in Houston. When I was back visiting he told me that - whatever you do, don't ever get in a fight with a homosexual person because regardless of the circumstances - their sexual habits will become a case for consideration.
In other words, it can be considered a hate crime.

Yeah, but what are the odds of it happening in the first place? And, if you did fight a homosexual over another issue, what are the odds that that evidence wouldn't be admissable in court? In other words, unless you are planning to beat up homos, what's the problem?

You seem to have a lot of faith in the court.

I don't do court, I do odds. Having faith in the courts is having faith in anencephaly.
