I've faced heterosexual bigotry all of my life and I know that people can turn around 180 degrees. Sometimes it may take years to see this transformation in people.
How can we expect others to tolerate us if we don't tolerate them? If we try to break down the churches and impose our beliefs upon them, then we are not much better, even if we know that we are on the side of truth and they are not.
The black community has broken down barriers by demonstrating that they can rise above the anger and exceed people's expectations. We can do the same.
Having said that, I also support peaceful demonstrations and protests. This shows the courts and the public that we mean business.
