Just putting this out there because it'll eat my soul if I don't.

I am a homosexual. I am a Christian.

I have been mocked, degraded, and dismissed far more often and with much greater vehemence and regularity for being the latter by atheists and Pagans, than I ever have for being the former by Christians, and homophobes. The Far Left really annoys me sometimes. All their talk about tolerance is just so much bullshit. They think they're so much better and more compassionate than the Far Right. They don't realize that they do the exact same thing all the time. It is possible to have a different opinion from someone and still show them respect.

You're collapsing sets of not terribly comparable things. The set of all Christians is not really comparable to the set of all homophobes. And the set of all Far Left (do you mean Marxists? Communists? Anarchists? Libertarians? Supporters of abortion rights and gay marriage? People who believe in progressive taxation and universal healthcare?) is not the same as the set of all pagans and atheists.

In my anger I may have been conflating two things that were pissing me off.
