Tell Me More About How LGBT Equality Supporters Are Intolerant

I've become quite dedicated to arguing this point, because for all the talk about how intolerant and oppressive we are, about how we are all about "punishing" and "silencing" our opponents, there seems to be many, many more things that they do that never get talked about.

We begin in South Korea, where last month, evangelical Christians blocked an LGBT Pride event. From Gay Star News:

Hate-filled Christians are camping outside police stations for weeks to block LGBTI events in Korea.

Now the country’s largest LGBTI celebration, Korea Queer Culture Festival and its parade, is under threat.

The Christians are using an administrative loophole to stop it.

Police will grant permission to hold rallies and events on a first-come, first served basis after applications are submitted one month in advance.

By making sure they are first in line and submitting multiple permits for the relevant days, they can effectively freeze out LGBTI event organizers.

Now we move to Singapore, where there was recently a rally of 28,000 people supporting LGBT equality. Again from Gay Star News:

The seventh edition of Singapore's annual Pink Dot rally on Saturday saw its largest turn-out to date with some 28,000 people turning out to form a 'giant human pink dot'– a reference to the tiny city-state often referred to as a 'little red dot'.

[...]

In recent years, the event faced opposition from religious groups.

Anti-gay pastor Lawrence Khong of Faith Community Baptist Church senior pastor and who is also chairman of the LoveSingapore network of churches has repeatedly called on the government to ban the event.

Finally, back domestically, two Iowa state representatives and radio host Jan Mickelson are considering pressing for the criminal prosecution of anti-bullying activists. From Right Wing Watch:

Iowa state Rep. Greg Heartsill has been rallying his fellow Republicans against the Governor’s Conference on LGBTQ Youth, an annual event organized by the anti-bullying group Iowa Safe Schools.

On Friday, Heartsill spoke to talk show host Jan Mickelson, who frequently hosts GOP presidential candidates on his Iowa-based program, about the conference, and was also joined by Republican state Rep. Steve Holt.

Mickelson was so outraged about the event that he said that the organizers should be criminally prosecuted for violating obscenity laws, and Heartsill said that he plans to be in contact with the county attorney for Polk County, where the conference was held, to see if summit organizers broke the law.

“There’s possibility a criminal element,” Heartsill said.

Holt agreed with Mickelson’s assessment, claiming that the summit material “seems to violate Iowa law.”

“If this were attempted just a generation ago, there would be people in jail already,” Mickelson said, adding: “We really have quickly deteriorated as a culture.”

There is an unfair perception of us as intolerant. I don't know why. Our side's incidents of actual intolerance are isolated, and get called out, while they do it all the time.

But we always get slammed, and they never do.

They're not just intolerant. They're massive hypocrites.
