Either way why should a school being showng a film promotng tolerance of homosexuals as opposed to blacks, women, the poor, the rich etc?

Well yes I can see your point, some people can be over sensitive but again it's not the words it's the intent, man I could take you to some gay pubs where the gay jokes are flowing fast and furious but again if a group of straight people were cracking funnies in a deliberate attempt to get a rise from a gay guy or girl then it's just crappy behaviour. Try going into a straight pub and repeating these-
What's the difference between a straight man and a bisexual? About six pints of beer.
What's the definition of straight foreplay? Honey I'm home?
How can you tell a straight mans been in your house? The soaps dry and the dogs pregnant.
Pound to a penny someone in there's going to be offended, especially if they think your gay, so it works both ways. There's a fine line between amusing and offensive sometimes. Something to consider when people are bigging up the idea of a right to free speech, what responsibilities should go with it.

Ok, apparently I misunderstood you. Teachers should not stop students from being intolerant to one another, then by this you mean that if one student gets up and starts waxing eloquent about the superiorities, both bioligical and cultural, that are innate to his race and people, and that others should be either exterminated, enslaved, or at the very least leave all nations founded by this students race, then the teacher should do what exactly? Wait until the fists start flying? Stop half the class from murdering the other half? Or should they insist that the student rephrase what they are saying to emphasize that good qualities of his own group, while not denigrating, irrationally, the qualities of other groups?
Oops , sorry. Meant to hit reply and not edit your post.

Anything done right, is done on as small a scale as possible.
So when thinking of the great swaths of people teaming for more government handouts, you should think to set them free.

My best man at my wedding is gay and a cmdr in the Navy

Why as huge minority of the populous should the rest of America really care about your freedom to do whatever you do wherever you want?

Now the folks who find gay lifestyles unaccaptable or anyone for that matter have to be careful what they say
, maybe the police come and you are accused of gay bashing.
and now all of a sudden its offensive
I really didn't think that when writing the Declaration of Independence they
It has to be a flexible document because it was never intended to make everyone 100% happy in some Utopia.

Yes... I chose to be straight

And even if people are "born gay" that doesn't make homosexuality a mutation. Please look up what your talking about before you put your foot in your mouth again.

Understand one thing about US laws.
I don't have to approve of you
I dont have to tolerate you.
I can not attack or discrimate against you, but I can recognise the fact that you as a homosexual are either (take your pick)
1) Someone born with a birth defect
2) someone with a mental dsease
3) an Immoral, unnatural, sexual deviant.

Not an assumption ubermunsche, just the way it is.
Dont feel bad I have scoliosis so I have a birth defect too, I just don't go around telling people my spine is supposed to be this way, I recognise it as a flaw and get it fixed.

Change how? Are you telling me that after these gay people pray a bit they magically turn straight, find a nice Christian spouse and raise some kids? I find that very hard to believe...I'm not going to say that it's never happened, but I would be very interested to learn more about these people.

Ed, you are the perfect example of why religion should be banned. Small mindedness, its almost amusing. You base all your feelings on fairy tales, I find that very scary.
