Or are we just gonna pretend that everything is a one way street? The lesson society had to learn when it came to accepting gay people was that it's best to be tolerant and accepting of other people. We are straying from those lessons because we got so caught up in specific goals that we've forgotten what is really important and why. I hope we can improve.</quote> There is a difference between focusing on a certain thing and excluding a particular thing. If someone makes a magazine about teenagers, it is not bigotry just because it doesn't talk about senior citizens. If someone makes a magazine about rap, but never mentions a white rapper, that would be different.</quote> Unless it was specifically about minority rappers. This is a Christian oriented magazine, it doesnt seem absurd they would only present straight couples given their audience believes marriage is between a man and woman. So it doesnt seem unreasonable to me from that perspective</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
