I understand why folks are annoyed with Israel's stand on gays but there is a bit of hypocrisy in asking them to have tolerance of other lifestyles and simultaneously showing intolerance for their religion. While I personally think the anti-homosexual stance that most religions take is pretty stupid I also recognize that a religion ingrained in a society is something that simply isn't going to change quickly...and even then I think there is a certain amount of arrogance in thinking that they are the ones who should change....
The whole tolerance thing is way too much of a double edged sword for my liking...personally I would like it if everyone just blurted out their opinion without provocation...if everyone did it people would be used to it and nobody would care what other people thought...it would be glorious!
PS - Yes that last paragraph is mostly sarcasm for those who can't tell.
