Not all views deserve respect
Aug 19^th, 2017 at 8:40am

I agree with most of this article, but I find it hilarious that progressive views can apply this level of critical thinking to SSM yet can't apply it to Islam which is the motherlode of illiberal and antiprogressive bad ideas.

When it comes to same-sex marriage, not all views deserve respect

We must always be amenable to reason.
Evidence and common-sense must rule.
I think it is right that ideas are tested.
But you can't argue with a religious view, because it's faith, and you can't argue with prejudice, because it's unmovable.

What is disappointing is when someone makes a point and the response is just a personal attack. Lot of that here!

That's because the LGBT community is a very intolerant one.

I have seen a group of straight guys beating up on a poof just because he was gay.

I have never seen a group of poofs beating up on a straight guy just because he was straight.

I do hope you stepped in and saved the poofs as you call them?...

the gay voice is very shrill though you must agree..
