Hmmm, I have to agree with you, Dave! Here is the problem.
Okay, so you have a group of bigots. They have every right to be bigotted
(let’s for the sake of argument forsake any governmental affiliations here)
and live in their bigotted world. So why do groups such as the ACLU
constantly swoop in and stir the pot? If pluralism is valued, why is it only
when the values agree with their agenda? It’s always “tolerance,
tolerance, tolerance” except regarding the intolerant. Then it’s
intolerance and lawsuits.

Easily answered: because said bigots are trying to limit the freedom of those
that they are bigoted against. If, say, a community that was a majority of Gays
attempted to ban Christian fundamentalists from their community (“They aren’t
wanted here”) the self-same ACLU would swope down to the defense of the
Fundamentalists.
And why is it that the only time conservatives preach tolerance is when they
want to justify their own intolerance?
