I'd go with Jains, (if it were an option) :- extreme pacifism well beyond that of Buddhists etc.

I can just imagine ISIS rhetoric coming from a bunch of jains.
"WE'RE VERY UPSET THAT SOMEONE STEPPED ON A BUG THIS MORNING, THIS SENSELESS LOSS OF LIFE IS AN INSULT TO OUR RELIGION. RETALIATION WILL BE HARSH AND SWIFT. WE WILL SHAKE OUR FISTS IN MODERATE LEVELS OF UPSET-NESS, BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH TO DISTURB THE AIR CURRENTS THAT MIGHT CAUSE A BUTTERFLY TO BUMP PAINFULLY INTO A TREE BRANCH."

That's because I DIDN'T say that and don't believe it at all.
Especially if you DON'T believe in discriminating between homosexual and heterosexual, you would treat them the same way.
So the same way some people born homosexual go through healing and come out homosexual -- some people born heterosexual go through healing to come out heterosexual.
one friend I met online went through healing and THEN came out transgender.
So why wouldn't I be supportive of both possibilities?
What if someone comes out bi or straight, or whatever,
after going through healing and accepting their true self.
FatFaithless are you insinuating I should only support my friends who come out gay? And the others, discriminate against them for coming out heterosexual? what?
What about Chirlane McCray wife of NY Mayor De Blasio.
Just because she identifies heterosexual now, am I supposed to deny her identity? Or deny that she identified lesbian before that?
Are you requiring me to CALL her a liar if she describes herself that way?
BTW I am a registered active Democrat, prochoice all the way.
So if people choose to come out as 'whatever' I support that 'whatever'
it is not for ME to decide for my own political agenda what someone
identifies as, it is my duty as a Constitutionalist to protect their beliefs and interests as I would defend my own, whatever beliefs they have.
Sorry to be so inclusive, i hope that doesn't scare or offend you.

This thread is a joke, right?
