So in other words, the LGBT community needs their own definition of words in order to have their arguments hold any water? Sounds just like the scientific community towards religion when it comes to evolution, big bang, and other theories. The definition of tolerance is "the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.". Christians showed tolerance by stating we are not trying to tell them they can't be gay, in fact many of us don't care what they do behind closed doors. However the response has been to throw their lifestyle into our faces, telling us we are required to accept their lifestyle choice, and the only way to show that we accept it is to change our religious views and practices to do whatever they want or get sued. In other words the LGBT have not been willing to tolerate our opinions or beliefs and expect us to change to fit their needs and beliefs. Marriage was not created by the government, it has always been a religious practice. The government only came in and started giving benefits to married couples because the government saw the benefits of what married couples bring to the community. It is these benefits that the LGBT claimed to be fighting for, although I see that as a lie because instead of changing civil unions which were made legal for them, they wanted to change marriage. By changing marriage, that now gives them more freedom to sue for discrimination when a group or individual wants to choose to live their life and what work they do based off of their religious beliefs.
See what you don't realize is that wanting to keep marriage a religious practice, religious based adoption agencies not wanting to provide for same-sex couples, other businesses not wanting to provide services for same-sex marriage doesn't change the lifestyle that the LGBT community is already living, nor does it take away from them getting services by other means. So their rights are not being taken away with any of this. However the religious beliefs of a Christian is the core of their life. You tell us that we can't practice our religious beliefs from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm to provide services for someone else, that is taking away more than one right. That is altering our lives, telling us how we should live our lives, essentially telling us it should be illegal to be Christians.
