We live in a (supposedly) tolerant society. I believe that is a good thing. However, are there not some things that should not be tolerated?

The rights of gay people in our society have improved greatly over the last 50 years or so. However, that improvement was not brought about by tolerating the injustices perpetrated against gay people but by fighting against intolerance.

Should we show tolerance toward those who abuse the democratic processes to destroy democracy? Should we tolerate a religion that does not tolerate gay people?

I believe that only those who show tolerance deserve to be tolerated. I also believe that I have a right to try to obliterate any religion that tries to obliterate me.
