I mean good for you, but as a fellow homosexual, I demand acceptance.

Tolerance is a pathetically low bar. We deserve equality and respect.

    Respect is not deserved but earned on a individual basis for demonstrating good character. It has nothing to do with your sexuality.

    Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

    and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

    and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
