I assume everyone is a yank because they tend to be the most disconnected from the real world, stuck in their american fantasy bubble, so i tend to hit, guess this time i missed. So why all this arguing? The “outrageous” tweet by Maupin says “i disagree with you if you dont support gay marriage or abortion, but i will fight by your side”, literally what you are repeating now. Maupin never said bigotry should be tolerated, all he said is specific views on social issues should be. Noone saying here that we should be ok with people beating up gay people in communist groups, noone ever said this, including Caleb. The issue is people that for religion or other reason oppose abortion or gay marriage, thats it, thats what the tweet says. This is what most conservative workers in USA are like i imagine, they dont hate gay people, they just think gay marriage is wrong. Sure there is some homophobia deep down, but its a totally different thing from despicable hate crimes. But somehow saying this is so controversial. I hope you agree with me now.

How do you deal with the paradox of tolerance, specifically, how does an entire revolutionary movement that seeks to reorganize society tolerate intolerance? Even more specifically, how you build a sustainable revolutionary society that is tolerant of the opinion that minority groups should be oppressed if society cannot survive if it actively oppresses minority groups?
Tolerating anti-gay-marriage positions is tantamount to saying “I know that you want to stop others from living their life in fundamentally legalistic ways, but that’s OK, you can still be part of our group that intends to rewrite the laws”
Homophobia isn’t a moral failing, it’s a legal one. No one cares what you believe in your private spaces. What matters is that we cannot build a sustainable revolutionary society if we tolerate intolerance in our vanguard.
