Try telling that to clown fish.
I guess I got indoctrinated early by the character Little Horse in the film Little Bigman. Jenner's choice of gender means little to me. If he's happy being a woman who am I to criticize? It has should have no import to me in this life.
My workplace, a public university, is advertising LGBT Pride Month. As I recall, this all began with the desire that consenting adults' private behavior should be private, a state f affairs which I wholeheartedly endorse.
Now, however, I am being confronted by these private issues, which to my mind have no place in the public sphere, and told that I should not only tolerate, but openly champion them or I am labeled a closed-minded bigot. I may even be a bigot, though I don't believe so, but I'm prepared to keep my mouth shut and ignore private, personal issues. All I ask is the reciprocal courtesy. I'm not getting it. If others can't comprehend why that disturbs me, perhaps some thoughtful consideration and tolerance is in order.
