Nicely said. It is my experience that people get angry when they are "forced" to make public their beliefs. It would all be a lot less disruptive, so the logic goes, if people kept their offenses to themselves. In other words, If you are gay but don't "flaunt" it, the people who quietly go about believing that homosexuality is a sin can continue to do so and no one will have to be made uncomfortable by the whole *icky* topic. (Well, no one but the person being shoved into the shadows that is.) I wonder if we shouldn't be equally concerned with the judgment going on under the surface.
