Your comment reminds me of being in school in the eighties, and seeing the group think bullies gossiping and shunning a lesbian couple. Daring to say "leave them alone" was met with "OMG you are a queer too", etc.
Fast forward to today, and the group think bullies will rail "OMG you are a hater too" if you suggest you leave religious people alone who have moral objections to gay marriage (or at least promoting it as identical to heterosexual marriage).
Bullies are always the same type of people, no matter the beliefs.
- efnx 10y agoI think being intolerant of intolerance is fine - and don't recurse any further into that statement ;)
- coldtea 10y agoI think there's some truth in that. Unless the number of activists and good people increased, and the number of bullies decreased (which I think is more of a constant in a given society), the bullies just use whatever cause is more convenient in the present as a means to club other people with and/or promote their personal brand (that said, depending on their area and the general sentiment there, this could be, against just as well as pro gay rights, for example).
