Mormon official silences 12-year-old girl in church after she says she's gay

Sorry buddy, but that crap doesn’t fly. There is too high a body count and too many broken lives in the wake of your views to simply treat it as a polite genteel dispassionate discussion

If your position is that certain classes of people do not deserve to be treated like human beings, or should not exist, and that your religious beliefs excuse such malicious actions, then there is no compelling reason to “tolerate” it. Not even in the spirit of civility. Moreover, there a moral obligation to oppose such views.

To “tolerate” such malice is to pretend it is something normal, acceptable and worthy of consideration. To make me complicit in your cruel views and behavior. So as a moral human being, I am obligated not to treat your views with the respect you wish.
