To Receive Tolerance You Must Extend It

And this is not it.

I am officially declaring that I will no longer bother avoid offending those that are going out their way to be offensive to me.

So, do something about your hate filled organizations.

My son has a mom and a dad. I have a wife and Harvey has a husband. These are real terms describing real people in a real situation. Harvey being a mother and a wife and me being a husband and a father do not in any way affect my feelings about homosexuals; or rather, it didn't. Since you have decided that those terms are offensive, seemingly because you don't have equivalent terms, I will no longer avoid using terms that offend you.

One of the glorious things about being a white, straight, male is once I no longer want to take the effort to be egalitarian, I can just pick the hate group that matches me best and start marching. How many people have joined such organizations because of just such a small slight as this?

And before anyone gets on their high-horse about me being part of the Fundamentalist Christian Right, I am an Atheist. God doesn't enter into the discussion.

Get your hate under control and I will return the favor. Continue this bullshit and keep offending me for doing NOTHING to you, I will just be compelled to do something in return.
