Results: Should homophobic and rascist people be tolerated in today's modern society.
Published on 09/06/2019
A recent survey compelled me to ask some questions about tolerance and intolerance of racism and homophobic behavior. I realize I might inadvertently be giving a forum to racists and homo-phobics to continue their hateful ways. However, I'm hoping the comments from people impacted by this backwards thinking, will teach just one person to be more tolerant of their fellow human beings.
