Me for example, a conservative gay man. I’m not allowed to have a voice in the majority of situations—all through college and my personal life simply because “gay” and “conservative” doesn’t blend well with the people who are supposed to be inclusive and diverse.

According to who? <—— literally the majority of gay people/people on the left. I’ve gotten more hate from them than anyone on the right or who is religious.

(Hint, diversity and inclusiveness can’t be achieved if you don’t include those you disagree with) 

Hint: intolerance and tolerance are opposites. You can't have a tolerant world by propping up intolerant viewpoints.

There's no issue with people having "conservative" views. Lower taxes, that's fine.

But if those "conservative" views are opposed to other people existing, that can't work.

You do realize you make up the whole “conversatives don’t believe certain people should exist” thing, right? It’s a loaded and over exaggerated way to express being against the right so that you come out morally on top because they believe that views that I’m assuming you appear to have are intolerant.  

while yes, there are people who believe certain people shouldn’t exist, those people are on all sides of the political spectrum, not just the right. The majority of people on the right do not care how people live. 

What you define as intolerant, others define as tolerant, and Vice versa. Setting up boundaries and lines in the political and social world is not intolerant—going too far with certain ideas has more negative ramifications than most people understand.
