“But in our current era, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, as the old saying goes.”
I am not sure how that would play out, i.e., should I celebrate the homosexuality instead of condemn it?
No, not celebrate, but tolerate.
Tolerance is NOT acceptance. It is NOT saying, “two men or two women together are no different than a man and a woman”. Tolerance does not change laws and definitions .
This is what angers the gays: They KNOW in a democracy they are tolerated. They openly scorn it, and want total acceptance. So perhaps I just undid my own adage, as honey tastes like vinegar to them now in any case.
