Tolerance V.S. Accpetance
Tolerance V.S. Accpetance
There is a huge difference between ACCEPTANCE and TOLERANCE. I think that when it comes to the LGTB community, the wrong message is being spread. I unfortunately believe that we will never live in a world that is 100% for gay marriage, transgender surgeries, or gay couples adopting.
There is no reason however, why we should not live in a world that is tolerant of one another. Someone told me that a transgender is not right in the head and therefore should not be alive in this world. Even if you may not agree with the normality of being transgendered would you deny them the right to live as a human?...Not as a man v.s a woman but a HUMAN. Whatever gender that may be.
When you deny someone the right to live based on their race, religion, or sexual orientation...isn't that genocide? If you claim that someone transgender isn't right in the head and needs to die...Where does it stop? If someone isn't "right in the head" and has a mental disorder, should they not be allowed to live? The answer would be, "NO, of course they deserve the right to live!!" So why should it be any different when it comes to sexual orientation or gender identification (the two are separate).
The message should not be to make everyone accept that homosexuality/being transgendered is right or morally acceptable. We as humans can NEVER fully agree on any issue. It would be an impossible task. The message should be TOLERANCE! To tolerate one another even if we may not agree with the lifestyle they may choose. When you push a gay agenda of accepting it as correct, you force people to change their opinions. Which rightfully, they do not have to do. When you ask someone to be tolerant of one another, it is agreeing to live side by side despite the differences and is much more achievable.
