Why should it be okay to disagree with homosexuality but not, say, race, another thing that cannot be controlled? Terrible comparison.

And there you go. When you tell others their thoughts are wrong you yourself become authoritarian.

Yeah, like who is to say 1+1=2?

1+1=3, for sufficiently large values of “1”. And for this community, that’s less of a joke than you think. This isn’t effective snark...

I find it ironic and sad, but not unexpected, that this was downvoted.

"Does this person deserve to be treated like a human being based off <x immutable property>" isn't really acceptable in civil society and for good reason. Keep that stuff to 4chan, not in my workplace. That's not some sort of "leftist" thing.

You might want to read more about weichmart democracy. For all American flaws, the two countries are not nearly the same.

IMO, if anything will doom America is the reflexive insistence that there are two sides and that those two sides are equal. Nothing like that existed in Germany, tho they did had actual communist movement they actually tried coup.
