The author says "But we know that Brendan has already inserted his views on our relationships where those views don't belong: into the workings of the government, by means of making a political donation. " Isn't the whole point of democracy to insert your views into the workings of the government. To make political donations to people that you think have similar points to you? If you can't make a political donation, with your own money, then what can you do? One thing I don't get, do people think this guy is going to be a miserable leader and a bad businessman? Does the author think only people who believe the same things as the author can lead? The title was "against tolerance." I thought the author was going to rant about how intolerant some gays are. But instead he is saying he won't tolerate someone else having an opinion that differs with his own. I would be willing to bet every CEO out there has made a political contribution or voted for someone that "interfered" with the authors personal life.
