Sorry if that is a bit direct, and blunt, but i just wondered? I agree that you are entitled to your views, and your right to defend those views, provided that your defence of those views does not harm others.
From my point of view i only object to ignorance, and that isnt directed at anyone here.
I don't know. I can speculate but what good is that?

Half of me would have. Huge issue. The other would love them as my child. But I don't think toleration and love have to do with each other.

Not gonna get into this to much but there are people in my life who I don't have anything to o with because they are living a life I don't agree with and more importantly they don't agree with mine. So because I choose not to be around them does that mean I don't love them?

I guess I'd say if I raised my kids and taught them what I believe is right and wrong and they grow up to make life decisions that are contrary to how they were raised. I'd let them I'd even love them but, i wont embrace certain lifestyles just because they're my kids.
