No need for acceptance? Oh the arrogance! As if you have the right to “accept” another person. Sexual orientation in every scientific realm has been found to be outside the power of choice. Saying you don’t “accept” it is nothing short of saying you don’t “accept” the color of an individual’s skin. You of course can believe whatever your religions tell you to believe. Heck, I can believe the Earth is flat and the center of the universe, but that doesn’t make it true. Maybe one day people will stop hiding their personal prejudices and insecurities behind the cloak of outdated, ill-informed religious dogmas.

the 2 best pieces of advice i ever received was from a therapist. he said, “yes, people push our buttons, but, we are the ones who label those buttons.” and “just because you think or feel it, doesn’t make it true.”

being easily offended can sometimes be supported by the innocence of human nature

Good point, Bill. No need for acceptance is true. And no need for input doubly true. Thanks for stopping by.

If something contradicts my beliefs, either I get offended or I didn’t hold that belief in the first place. I -do- think homosexuality is wrong; but I don’t think that I am the cure. According to my faith, the homosexuality of others is Gods problem and he has already figured out how he’s going to handle it. No need for input – or acceptance – from me.

Well, the way I figure it, you are welcome to take offense if your religion or belief system says so, but you’re not welcome to pass judgement or offend someone else in case it’s that person’s religion of belief system.

I like it. Someone said that no-one can make you feel crap or angry apart from you – its your choice. Live and let live and all that. And other similar cliches.
