[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 447788, member: 1198"] I think this is one of those things that gives a warm fuzzy on the surface but becomes much more complicated under the surface. It's is very easy to say when merely accepting that which society and media tells us should be accepted. It's easy to accept ****. You get a big cookie if you do that today. It gets more difficult when referring to the so-called "undesirables" of society -- the junkies, the vagrants, the crack-******, the in-bred, the perverts, the morbidly obese, the severely mentally ill, those with poor hygiene. When you openly accept and express love to those groups, you get the same looks of contempt that society throws their way. It's also more difficult to accept those who don't share the politically "correct" viewpoint. We'll stay with the gay example, since that is the context at hand. As I said, it might be easy for you to stand up and publicly state, "My friend here is gay and I accept him for who he is without attempting to change him." But what about the person who believes based on his or her religion that homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle? Are you equally willing to publicly say, "My friend here believes that homosexuality is wrong and I fully accept him for who he is and would not attempt to change him." My point is not to endorse any particular viewpoint here. My point is that what you suggest may be far more difficult than you realize, if not impossible. [/QUOTE]
