i was saying this 5 years ago but all my LGB friends scoffed at me: forcing anti-gay people to be silent is a horrible idea because they will grow resentful and come back with a vengeance. We should have showed them grace and tolerance (which us difficult, I know and rarely pleasant). Someone has to let go of the conflict first for it to end, and we were in the ideal position to so so.
