You were born with an opinion? Unless you have video with your first words being "fuckin' faggot", shut up.
Most people won't have a problem with you having those "opinions", you just shouldn't in any way act on them.
Intolerance towards intolerance is a self-defense mechanism of modern pluralist democratic societies, and even though it doesn't make any logical sense on paper, it works.
I will borrow a quote from Karl Popper. Even though I am fairly certain that you don't have the intellectual sophistication to understand it.
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal. "
-Karl Popper "The Open Society and its Enemies"
Your ilk IS being tolerated, as evidenced by the fact that no one is going around killing you disgusting people for your repulsive views.
Tolerating you just means we have to allow you to exist, not that we need to show you any respect or pay any heed to your shitty opinions.
You can hate whoever you like for whatever reason you like, I will never stop you. However, if you act out that hate I will be on your ass with a vengeance. Keep your bigotry contained and you'll be the only one who suffers for it.
"I’d seriously like someone to explain to me why that “tolerance” BS only goes ONE way. "
Ok, I'll explain it.
Your post is BS. Your intolerance only goes ONE way. You are intolerant to others but you whine and cry when your intolerance is pointed out.
Okay, you can hate whoever you want. You can announce your hate whenever and to whomever you want. I will uphold your rights to do so.
However, when you are talking about imposing laws that needlessly restrict other people's freedoms, THEN you've got some explaining to do. "I hate faggots" is no justification for such laws. Lies about how all gay people are child rapists are no justification. Thumping the bible is no justification either. And if your lot has anything else on its side, you've never been able to demonstrate it.
So go ahead Nervous Tick. Scream your hate all you wish, or just sit and stew in it. It makes no difference either way, your side is still losing.
You know what, NT, you're right. You absolutely have the right to hate people, for any reason, and I should (and do) tolerate your hatred. Part of the cost of living in a society free from "thought-crime" is that people will have thoughts and hold opinions that I find detestable, hateful even.
But hating someone isn't the same thing as acting on that hatred. I don't need to tolerate you harassing someone, or oppressing them, or bullying, beating, discriminating or persecuting them. That isn't part of your right to an opinion, your "right to hate", that is a actual physical and mental harm to individuals.
To quote Zechariah Chafee, “Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man’s nose begins.”
"I’m not gonna change. I was born that way."

Classic example of Closet Case Syndrome. Proof?:

He couldn't have telegraphed it more, if he'd also had a neon sign over his head, with rainbow flags, and speakers blaring out 'I Am What I Am' by Gloria Gaynor. >:D
Ok, fine. I accept that you are allowed to have that opinion. However, you are not allowed to use it to deny others their rights, just as I would be wrong to deny you your rights based on your beliefs.
Here's the thing: I actually do tolerate your opinion, myopic and fucktarded though I believe it to be. You are absolutely free to rant, rave, stomp, and storm, and I will not raise one single objection.
The reason I will not do so is that you are irrelevant. Unimportant. Unnecessary.
My life is not lived by a popular mandate, so by all means cast your vote. It will be noted and disregarded immediately.
I realize how this must make you feel, but that is a conversation for your life coach, not for me. Much like you have no say in the way I live, I feel no obligation to weigh in on your valiant struggle against your own impotent rage. Besides, one of you is bound to win eventually.
Bible God made you that way, He doesn't want everyone to be humane for some inexplicable reason. So it's just the luck of the draw. Bible God wants you to be a bigoted tosser, so I guess you'll have to resign yourself to a life of bigotry and tossery. Sounds like you already have.
You answer your own question. Your hatred is, sadly, tolerated. You do not tolerate them, then whine when called out on it
I’d seriously like someone to explain to me why that “free speach” BS only goes ONE way.
I love to publish lies about people, slander and defame them, ruin their reputation, accuse them of everything I can think of, denounce them, even commit purgery to hurt them.
I have every right to, it's fucking free speach, right? Yeah, it's my right. First Amendment, dudes. Read it.
*For the couple of mental paupers here, this post isn't meant the way it's worded. Duh. So stay the fuck off my case if you can't grasp irony.
I’m not gonna change. I was born that way.
But...but...it's a learned behavior, and you can change it if only you pray hard enough.
Bless your heart. I'll be praying for you.
Actually, fuckwit, it goes two ways. You hate them and they don't particularly like you very much because you're an ignorant turd.
Oh, and you weren't "born" that way. You were raised that way. I'm betting you got a steady diet of homophobia from a young age from church, mom and dad, grandpa, and anyone else in your family and circle of friends.
So don't kid yourself.
No you weren't, fucker; you were TAUGHT to be a hateful asshole. And you will be mocked, lambasted, cursed out, and made fun of for it accordingly. Get used to it.
"born that way"
The irony.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
