I’m tolerant to any behavior that doesn’t injure, endanger, or pressure another human being. I don’t care if they’re straight or gay. I’m against people victimizing other people for any reason whatsoever. Children are off-limits in my world view to either gays or straights. But mature adults can make their own decisions and I have no business, in my world view, even imagining what goes on behind closed doors. Their business. Never mine.
I admit I can’t understand gay. I’m a woman and I adore men. In every shape, size and appearance. But that’s me. I’m completely tolerant to people whose philosophies aren’t mine, as long as theirs don’t tell ME what to do. Then I plant my heels down and vote to keep them in their own closed worlds. That’s the problem with Democrats. They think they have right on their side and everyone should agree with them. As long as they’re the intolerant ones, I’ll always vote against Democrats.
I’m actually going bonkers right now because I’m writing a bio for my grandmother, who was a raving, Democrat, liberal feminist. Probably in reaction to her Republican, conservative father. I have a feeling I would have disagreed with her from one end of her belief structure to the other. But it has been interesting.
