"This isn’t about mutual tolerance because there’s nothing mutual about
it. If we agree to disagree on this issue, you walk away a full member
of this society and I don’t."
Notably, as the same sex marriage issue was adopted as a culture war
tool in Australia, we once again see marriage equality opponents
publicly stating in the media that they are distressed by the names they
are being called, like "bigot".

well before the last US election. It still holds."
