Really. If I presented as my view that women are best presented with their legs spread, and children should be seen and not heard, a civilized society should accept my statement? Hmmm. ~~~~
It should accept that you have a right to hold it and that you have a right to air it. That does not mean the society has to accept it being imposed.
More to the point, there's a difference between accepting something and endorsing it. My acceptance that some people are gay and that they have the same rights any heterosexual does not mean I endorse or encourage homosexuality.
