Frankly, I am flabbergasted by many of these replies. How could people who want so much to be understood and accepted deny that to someone else? Opinions are one thing, outright hostility (and most of those replies are extremely hostile) are entirely out of line.
"Those who who would give up their freedom for a little temporary security will get (and deserve) neither." - Benjamin Franklin
To seek acceptance while not being accepting falls much into the same category.
