No one is trying to silence anyone, hassle them, remove their rights or change the law so that they can't hold or display those views anymore. It's simple pushback of opinion against an opinion.

This x 1000.  I have every right to push back when someone else wants to restrict my rights, but not the rights of some "approved" group.  Defending oneself against egregiously unfair treatment is not bigotry.

I agree.... you have every right to voice what you think is wrong. The same as others do. We may disagree, but I can understand where you are coming from. Again, I don’t think that intolerance is just simple disagreement. To,stance would imply that there is disagreement. Do you think that when someone won’t even listen, and has to make up “what you really mean” that, that is a sign of bigotry? How about when you cannot even discuss without name calling and personal attacks? This is what I would call intolerance and bigotry.
