Short answer, no. I am not trying to win a popularity contest but to ensure that every human being feels safe.

How is it that every human would feel safe by having the law go after people for lawful activities? One never knows what lawful activity one is doing now that someone else might object to and go after that individual for doing -- lawfully.

That may make some people FEEL safe -- but no one would BE safe. All would be according to the whim of those in power.

So until the bigots are educated, they will continue to hurt people. Is that okay with you?
How does fighting bigotry with bigotry eliminate bigotry?

Seems more likened to two females arguing over which one of them has the biggest penis...

Activism against bigotry is not bigotry.
Unless it's meta-bigotry.

It reminds me of some "peace activists" I saw at a KKK rally near my office some time ago. The KKK was unarmed, & only speaking.
The activists attacked with knives, sticks with nails, & who knows what else (didn't want to get that close) while wearing masks.
The KKK probably expected to look good next to these bastions of tolerance & anti-bigotry.

As a progressive, I will do everything I can, including using govt., laws etc., to subdue conservatives. Simple.

I'm a progressive too, but I will do everything I can to thwart this and make sure that the government treats everyone equally, following the rule of law... the same law for everyone.

I guess that you'll have to be subdued too....for not being militantly progressive enuf.
 
I suppose there is no convincing some individuals who are so fanatical and extremist, that they bend over to maintain double standards.

In fact, let's switch the roles around. I consider myself oppressed by fanatical social progressives. Therefore, if I were mayor, I'd be perfectly justified in refusing zoning permits for those who I claim are oppressing me!

You want the govt. to treat bigots and their victims equally. Hmm ...

And you want to revoke the humanity of someone just because they take a position you disagree with.

Rights only matter when they're challenged. If a person only has freedom of speech when he's expressing a popular view, then he doesn't have freedom of speech at all.

I value freedom of speech. You do not, apparently.

No one said anything about allowing them to hurt anyone, cupcake. We're talking about speech, merely expression a thought or idea, not actual actions that victimize or violate the rights of innocent people.

Homophobia has nothing to do with freedom of speech.
