Fair enough!  I don&#x27;t have much to add to the discussion, but wanted to say that i understand the thinking behind what you said, and appreciate the painful honesty. You&#x27;re probably right that for a majority of people the best one can hope for is grudging acceptance.  I appreciate that at least you admit your internal biases (of which i also have quite a number, as is natural) -- that&#x27;s indeed all anyone can ask for, as a first step towards a more accepting society.  Thanks :)
