Gay people are only asking for equality, your argument about forcing people to except is thin because you are able tolerate other religions, therefore what some one does in their bedroom should be a lot easier.

If you read some of those gay activists they are demanding acceptance indeed, as they see tolerance as "not enough". As they claiming mere tolerance is just a passive coexistence without interactions, and such attitude isolating them from the rest of the society. They want you to invite them to your birthday party instead of just smiling and nodding to them while you keep avoiding any closer social interaction.

First of all, lets not make this personal. I have several gay friends and personally don't have any issues treating them like anyone else. Now that that is aside and we can make this about the topic and not me personally... Roll Eyes

What gives them the right to DEMAND acceptance from anyone? Should they be forced to invite people they don't agree with to their birthday parties? Are you even thinking about what you are typing? This demand is NOT WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS because it INFRINGES UPON THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. No one has the right to appropriate the rights of others, I don't care how victimized you feel. Everyone has a right to tolerance, everyone DOES NOT have the right to acceptance. They can want it and strive for it all they want, but they DO NOT have a right to demand it and mistreat those who do not give that acceptance. You can not make other people accept what they do not believe in, they have NO RIGHTS to do this, and this behavior is not only extremely hypocritical, but counterproductive to their actual claimed goal of acceptance. Instead this behavior creates even more conflict and resistance leading to less tolerance on BOTH sides of this conflict.
