I never said it was ridiculous of anyone to demand tolerance. The key and whole point of it being ridiculous is because they [gays] are one of the most INTOLERANT groups around.

If gays were as open, tolerant and accepting of others views as they demand others be of theirs...I wouldn't have an issue of their complaints and demands for tolerance. However, they're not.

They're hypocritical, and as such have no ground to stand on demanding people be tolerant of them.
What are they intolerant of, specifically? How is it hypocritical to demand tolerance of their activities, and of who they are? If they are too loud (I reread the quote, as you asked, and it seems that's the part I overlooked -- correct me if I'm wrong), how loud is just right, for you?

It wasn't the loud part you missed. It was that they themselves are one of the most intolerant groups around.

They're intolerant of any person who doesn't accept their sin; any person who dares to simply believe that marriage is between a man and a women and not two people of the same sex; and it's expanding to any business that hires someone who believes in traditional marriage --- even when it has NOTHING to do with what their business role is.

Chik-fil-a and this DC Comics situation only proves their intolerance of people's personal beliefs.

It's none of their business what the personal belief of the DC Comics employee is. DC Comics, according to the Boston Globe link here has been "a leader in incorporating gay characters into its comics. It had one of the first male gay kisses back in 1988."

There is no question DC Comics will not allow him to write any controversial storyline in the Superman comics he authors.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with DC Comics hiring an award-winning science fiction writer (His aforementioned award-winning novel 'Ender's Game' starring Harrison Ford will be released this fall). Yet the intolerant gay community is demanding this guy be fired or they will boycott DC Comics.

Note: DC Comics has stated his personal beliefs are just that and he will not be fired. Good for them.

Not as loud as they rage against Obama and Liberals. Maybe 1/10 of that would be acceptable!

Timmy, I love ya bro and should likely keep out of your conversation with n_david buuuuut....


To suggest those attacking DC Comics are not intollerant is nonsense.

They are in fact being both intollerant and hypocritical.

They dont like a guy because he is, in their view, intollerant so they respond in anger and demand he be fired for not believing like they do and threaten the company that hired him with boycott.

They refuse to allow others to have a different view than them. That is the very definition of intollerance. and they complicate it with the hypocracy do doing this in the name of tollerance.


its almost skitsophrenic.
