Prism68, I can certainly see why you say that conservatives' opinions are not tolerated. It does seem like that, sometimes.

However, here is something to think about. "Liberal" ideas about things such as same-sex marriage and abortion say that you CAN do these things, not that you MUST do these things. In other words, liberals leave it up to YOU to decide what YOU should do. But it often seems that conservatives say that you CANNOT do something. They don't seem to believe that you should have any say in the matter, or that you should have a choice.

It's past 1:00AM, so I may not be very clear. Abortion is a tricky issue, especially with medical advances that can save premature babies earlier and earlier. But I just don't understand the opposition to gay marriage. I don't believe that people will choose same-sex marriage over traditional marriage if they aren't gay. Same-sex marriage will simply provide recognition of relationships that already do exist, with the same responsibilities and duties. I think it's wonderful when anyone wants to pledge to take care of another "until death do us part." Why is this so bad?
