For the same reason that I'm forced to accept black olives even though I despise them. What my neighbor does is none of my damn business.

The same reason you should be forced to permit expressions of opinions you do not agree with.
It is a question of liberty. You liberty ends where it enters someone else's home to diminish theirs. Matt

You begin with a dishonest statement and then use it as part of a non-sequitur? You should count yourself lucky someone answered your "question" at all - the way you phrased the question is absurd and a non-starter. No one could or should make you "accept" homosexuality any more than anyone could or should make me "accept" black olives. The beauty of a society founded on principles of liberty, however, is that you're free to do things that cause no harm to others whether or not everyone approves.

Why would you make a statement that is so obviously false ? You're NOT "free to do things that cause no harm to others whether or not everyone approves." If that was TRUE, then I wouldn't get arrested for going to the mall buck naked WOULD I ? Like someone above said: "Liberals have no foundation for there beliefs that homosexuality should be accepted." You just proved the truth of that very simple statement AGAIN. The simplest statements ruin liberal ideas pretty regularly don't they ![]()

Thane, my statement was a general one about liberty, not addressing specific "decency" laws in specific countries (i.e. the US). Because I cannot get out of bed naked and walk to the local store for a cup of coffee (one specific blue law) does not mean that the US does not operate generally under these principles of liberty, only that in some cases this principle is violated by "decency laws".
