The people like Doocy who are on the historically wrong side of the Chick-Fil-A controversy should think back to the civil-rights era, when people voiced outrage at the intolerance of famous bigots like George Wallace and Lester Maddox and Orval Faubus. The people who organized boycotts of these bigots and the places they represented back then were similarly accused of “intolerance” at the time. The lesson of that history remains a simple and clear one: One cannot end racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual intolerance by “tolerating” the people who practice it.

Funny How Intolerant Right-Wingers Leap to Decry Intolerance (via azspot)

Exactly. I don’t need to tolerate your oppression of people. And to stand behind your religion to justify it? WELCOME to what people have been doing since the dawn of time! Slavery was justified through religion. The Inquisition and the Crusades and even modern racism, people have attempted to justify using God. I don’t think the Bible and Jesus loving all people means you’re justified to hate and oppress, so go cry religious discrimination somewhere else.
