“Tolerance” is not about acceptance. Conservatives accept homosexuals and the sinful life they lead - inasmuch as the vast majority do not call for their extermination. The Bible tells us people will go to hell. “Tolerance,” as used by the militant homosexual lobby, really means “approval.” Which they will never get from me.

Simply not calling for extermination is not tolerance. You also have to not call for them to be beaten up, fired, evicted, or refused healthcare or visitation rights simply for being gay as well.
“When I use the word tolerance,” ConservaTexan said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less.”

We liberals don't want Donald Fart to die. Oh no.

We just want his political obliteration . [/Nixon]
Would you 'Tolerate' a prominent liberal - certainly a politician - who did the same as what your 'Emprah' has done? You know what you'll be admitting if your answer is anything other than 'Yes'.
And that is why the above in tolerant slime has an "approval" rating of just 30%; hey, don't take it from me, just ask this person in 2017 :

And this person can't be the only one: otherwise, why isn't that rating at least, say... 45%*? My, but that's acceptance, eh...?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
*- That was the approval rating of Richard 'I Am Not A Crook!' Nixon: just before he resigned after Watergate blew up in his own face.

Yes it is.
Some conservatives accept homosexuals. You clearly don't, or you wouldn't write about "the sinful life they lead".
There are more Republican politicians leading sinful lives than there are homosexuals. The Orange Clown is a prime example.
Accepting someone means taking someone as they are, to treat them with respect.
The Bible tells us lots of stupid things, and it's only valid for those who choose to see it as valid.
Acceptance and approval are synonyms here, nitwit.
Uh...no...calling them sinful is not what most people call "acceptance". It's what is referred to as good old-fashioned hating, and people who hate are, in a word, hateful. "Not calling for their extermination" is a very low bar indeed, and still you seem to want to get below it.

Contradicted yourself in one sentence. In just three words, actually.
inasmuch as the vast majority do not call for their extermination.
If that's your idea of "acceptance," you might want to look up the definition. And if you are not condemning the "minority" of people calling for gays to be killed, then you are giving tacit approval. Good luck recruiting gay people to conservatism. Seriously, what you're saying is, "Hey, we conservatives accept gays because less than half of us think they all ought to be killed."
Yes it is. If you tolerate something, you accept that it does exist.
Oh, and homosexuals accept conservatives and the sinful life THEY lead.
Tolerance is closer to acceptance than to approval. But they are all three sort of synonyms.
The Bible tells you to love your neighbor as yourself.
No one's asking you to approve, or cooperate, or participate.
Just not make it part of your business to tell them how to live.
I mean, if ANYTHING I do is not approved by your god, that's between me and Her. There's really no burden on you to keep reminding me of the fact, to treat me any differently because of that fact, to point to those who DO call for my death and call free speech...
Confused?
