A question of offensiveness

[gubi-gubi]

Not to confuse matters more, but I'm a little confused. It seems the whole argument stemmed from a scene in a movie ... correct? I'm not sure how you get from that to "If gay people can't and shouldn't have to control their feelings, why are the feelings I have about just the sex issue."

That's why I think there is more going on than just not liking the sight of kissing.

She said he should be more accepting but the way I see it even if he felt true disgust it doesn't mean he's not accepting.

I think, that as a person who has respect for the personal freedoms of myself and others, that other people can do things that would make me throw up, and I am allowed to throw up because of them. Let me hear some answers.

This statement makes me think it's more tolerance than being 'accepting' as people have said. I respect freedoms also. I respect the freedom of racists to be allowed to air their views in public for example. I accept that a white supremacist has every right to feel, say and do what ever they feel like if it is law abiding. Now at the same time if I had to sit and listen to a speech from them, it would make me cringe/feel sick. I have no problem sharing the same room as a racist but if they started saying racist things I wouldn't like it. That is the difference between tolerance and acceptance.
