Writer's Block: Agree to disagree

[i_amthecosmos]

[Error: unknown template qotd]My view is, if they don't reject me, I don't reject them. If we can be friends, then we can be friends. The thing is, my views are so extreme to my location (flaming liberal socialist commie living in the Deep South), that I would have a very small group of people to hang out with if I started those sorts of restrictions. Also, I enjoy good, funny, interesting people of all inclinations.

But I can't tolerate bigotry. I can't tolerate being mean to others based on race or sexuality. That shit's gotta stop. I won't support it. So being against gay marriage might be a dealbreaker. (Unless you're a crazy-ass radical like Gay Shame who wants all marriage abolished, then at least you're consistent.)

Totally agree. I had a falling out with someone because he thought homosexuality was a mental illness. :/

I was in my twenties and married with kids during the Civil Rights Era. I used to say that I could never travel to the South, because I would not be able to keep my mouth shut (about prejudice) and I'd probably be lynched, or at least, run out of town.
