    you were never serious about fighting it

    Yeah. I just think most people are no where near serious about fighting it. To effectively fight it, the unserious people need to help.

    the people who have a minority not coddle them

    What does this mean? Why would a minority coddle a majority person?

      Because they expect us to worship them for tolerating us. The amount of times I’ve seen a disagreement ending with say ‘I was going to support gay rights, but now I won’t because you were mean to me’ is huge.

        I am sorry you had this experience. It is fairly common.

        There is a place for gradually opening people’s eyes to a situation. If one goes too hard too fast, then they will reject any truth presented to them. (It is frustrating that the process starts over for each individual.)
