I do not believe that "tolerance" has anything to do with the these battles, although it is frequently a flag of convenience for the warriors of the left who wage them. "Tolerance" cannot explain the hatred of organizations like the Scouts and the Church, which the left is not content to leave alone. The impulse here is totalitarian. The ultimate object of these battles seems to me to be the transvaluation of values, requiring our indoctrination in the moral good of homosexuality and the moral evil of the United States.
