In Response to Stacy Spink’s Comments...

Your claim that the LGBTQ community to be bigoted in not being tolerant towards homophobic and transphobic language and beliefs is one that is all too commonly weaponized by people of your ilk to justify their hateful beliefs and values.

Tolerance does not encompass hateful and violent ideologies.

The Tolerance Paradox was crafted by philosopher that states “in order to remain a tolerant society, we must not tolerate intolerance. When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant, the tolerant ones end up being destroyed.”

Is freedom of speech, what you’re seeking, Stacy? OR is it freedom to be homophobic and transphobic without consequences?
