  An Intolerant Republican Party Just Killed a Moderate Candidate

  I'm a 'fair-minded' American, but I get insulted by how much I'm called 'intolerant' or 'narrow-minded' just because I oppose the idea that homosexual relationships are moral. I don't agree with the Republican party on everything, but I do feel that they are correct on this point...

  
  

  I don't think it's about "equality" either. I'm against treating LGBT people as if they are not people. That's wrong. They shouldn't get fired, mistreated, disrespected, and definitely not beat up or killed. However, when we start getting into issues of marriage and promoting what is right and wrong, it becomes a belief system more than an equality issue. religious people refuse to accept homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle, and that is not likely to change anytime soon...

  
  

  "The religious wrong has no conscience and no sense of decency." That seems very intolerant, maybe even hateful, to me. Religious people deserve respect for their beliefs are well... even if they disagree with your beliefs.

  Scholastic Reverses Decision to Exclude Gay Friendly Book from Fairs

  This whole thing really bothers me, especially the idea of including it in ELEMENTARY book fairs... I think parents have a right to teach their kids what they believe is moral and immoral, and I honestly believe homosexuality is immoral. Although you might yell and screem and call this 'intolerant', I think you're being unfair...The religious half (quarter?) of our country also holds these beliefs, and they have some validity.

  
  

  I'm all for gay 'rights'. In other words, a person shouldn't be treated disrespectfully, fired, or killed for the immoral actions that they do. What bothers me, however, is the attempt to force people to accept a lifestyle that they feel strongly is wrong. Trying to create children's books that promote this lifestyle is an intentional effort to spread a certain belief system.

  
  

  Would you be upset if this company refused to sell biblical books at their elementary school fairs? books explaining to children that they need to accept Jesus as their lord and savior to get into heaven? Until you are fine with both books being publicly promoted, I honestly think you're being a bit hypocritical...

  
  

  That's my two cents. other than this issue, I think change.org is an awesome website, and I know all of you are compassionate and caring people, so keep it up.

  
  

  Sincerely,
