You know, I'm about to give up. There are a small number of people that can see how blinding hate is. How automatically demonizing the other side prevents any real discussion and understanding. But that minority is so small, I don't know what to do about it anymore. I occasionally try to say something like that on FB and it's drowned out by all of the quick 'gotcha' memes being posted. I don't even like having lunch with a bunch of buddies (all smart IT/programmer types) because their idea of discussion is parroting sound bites at each other. I fear we're doomed.
In what instances do you find yourself having to openly endorse or actively support others' decisions in their sexuality to avoid being labelled a bigot? My personal experience, and intuition for most other walks of life, is that simply not commenting on or interfering with others' sexuality is enough for the topic to never come up.
It might not come up on its own. But if you're asked your opinion, and you don't give the currently popular response, you're in trouble.
I find it hypocritical that you're a bigot to people today if you hold the same opinions they did 10 years ago. Were they bigots then? How many of us are horrible bigots for something we think is bad today, but will be just fine in another decade or two?
