no one HAS to accept anyone, you can respect the fact that we're all humans and in the same boat and if we all hate each other, we're fucked, but obviously some people don't care. both sides can bitch and moan about the other until they're hoarse, but everyone has the right to think a certain way, but not to assume everyone else should. what causes alot of problems in this debate is the fact that, for whatever reason, some people think that just because they live their life a particular way that everyone else should have to as well. the reason that the gay-haters are spending so much useless effort yelling at the gays is because they assume that they both believe in the same type of god. think about all the different denominations of churches in warsaw, even though they're all considered 'christians' they all have different definitions of God, even if they all read the same words from the bible. and then all those people within each church has their own special specific definition of God. alot of the gay-haters seem to be assuming that everyone else in the world believes in God, their God, or any god at all, obviously if someone doesn't have that belief then they are not going to see being gay or whatever else as being 'wrong', some people are actually half-way intelligent though, and define what is good or bad partially by what does or does not hurt people, obviously not alot of people on this message board. It's quite possible that if God exists, he's not down with homosexuality, but he's probably not down with hate either.
