on the local radio station, wpdh, there's a guy on the morning show, tobin, who does different characters. one of them is a gay psychic. when someone said to him something about tolerance, he said that tolerance is an insulting word to use. i hadn't really thought of it before. the guy who said this, though definitely on the conservative side, is very aware of racism and intolerance, and is disgusted with people who practice patronizing well-meaning bigotry.
it was an interesting comment from him...obviously, he was portraying a character, but it was a profound statement and i felt he definitely meant that.
wtf, anyway? wtf is it with 'tolerance'?
acceptance is a much better term. should be the only term.
