If you meet someone who doesn't believe in gay marriage, do you automatically think of them as your personal enemy? I'm asking because honestly that's the impression I get. I don't believe in gay marriage but I do believe everyone is equally important. I don't hate gay people, nor do I see them as "inferior". I just don't feel the same way about the idea of gay marriage. Know what else? I'm what you would call a "fundie", and I think it's horrible the way that word has been demonized. As if "fundies" don't feel anything, don't love, don't live, don't deserve any basic human treatment or kindness, even though we have never withheld any of those things from anyone else despite the cruel stereotype our self-proclaimed "enemies" have created against us. So, do you really see me as your enemy? I'd like to know. And if you do, would you be open to consider the idea that maybe I'm not? Maybe fundies are nice people too, just with different beliefs?
Or would that be a little too tolerant?
