TOLERANCE: It works both ways

I am always disappointed when I hear about someone who moves here because of the great lifestyle, then they immediately start trying to change it. 

Erika Pearson states that she moved here because it is a great place to raise a family, then she goes about trashing the good people who made it that way.

Erika, please explain why is it bigoted and intolerant when someone uses a disparaging term for someone with an "alternative lifestyle," but it's "enlightened" when you self-righteously call someone a "Bible-thumper?" Please explain why it is wrong to be intolerant of someone pushing the "alternative lifestyle" but OK to berate people who believe another way? How typically one-sided your attitude is. If you don't like it here Erika, why do you stay? No one is twisting your arm.

There are many places that share your liberal-progressive philosophy. Wouldn't you rather be with people whose hypocrisy is more like your own?

Wouldn't that be a better place to raise your kids? Finally, I say, let the Playhouse run whatever play they want to. And let the ticket sales dictate what people here really want to see. I know that I won't be going. Mainly because I don't like to pay money to have someone push their own ideological agenda on me.
