On the one hand, I should accept them for who they are -- homosexuals.
On the other hand, shouldn't they have to accept me for who I am -- someone who doesn't want to be friends with homosexuals?

I'm forced to be tolerant -- but they don't have to be?

When they say they want tolerance, what they mean is that they demand acceptance.

I have trouble with the concept of homosexuals being “who they are”. No, it’s not who they are, it’s what they’ve chosen to do, nothing more or less. Chosen behavior carries with it consequences, no matter what that behavior is.

Well said, and in consonance with your screename!
