"Never reject anything. Nothing has been proved. If you reject anything, that is the beginning of the end of you as an intellectual." Why do you believe that there should be no discrimination between people based on gender, sexual orientation, etc., and dismiss something like homophobia out of hand, without even thinking about it

I may be finished as an intellectual, but i still have a brain. I'm quite old, and when i was younger i did give a lot of thoughts to the "facts" i've mentioned. I've reached my own convictions on what's right or wrong, i don't try to impose them on anyone, but i'm not used to remain silent either when i don't agree with someone else's.
Being tolerant toward intolerance has always been the main weakness of democracies. One that has caused them to crumble on more than one occasion.
Amazingly, i'm realizing that most people here think that
i am the one being intolerant. So i'll say no more and reflect on that.
