There is nothing about "tolerance" that says one must be tolerant of intolerance.

One is not a bigot if they will not accept bigotry.

And one is not a hater if they defend themselves against attacks.

Being open and tolerant does NOT mean being an emotional doormat for the ignorant and prejudiced.

The article posted is absurd as most of the questions posed are based on falsehoods.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
