(45,319 posts)for protection from hostility as bad as others demand that LGBT people endure, or if it is just some imaginary, hyperbolic claim made by folks who are just complaining about much lesser slights than they expect others to endure.
Another very good example from DU's past is the Rick Warren insults, in which LGBT people were called pony wanting poutragers for objecting to horrific denigrating language and the honoring of the man who spoke it. That was hostility to the extreme. This week, I see folks who claim empathy with insulted murderers who flat out demanded that LGBT people silently accept insult, denigration and hate speech. For the terrorists, they say 'I don't condone murder, but.....if you insult someone you should expect a strong reaction'. Rick Warren called us pedophiles and three weeks later this Party bowed it's collective head and prayed with him. That's hostile.
But I see you don't have any actual examples, standards or metrics to show how 'hostile' things are for 'believers' compared to other groups that are aggressively told not to complain when insulted by 'believers' such as Warren and his Committee of Defenders on DU, the Pony Shouters.
