Subject: Chic-a-fil Issue

I thought the gay issue and related issues of race and cultural diversity were all about tolerance; tolerance by enlightened people respecting other people's viewpoints even if they disagree with our own; an accepting "live and let live" attitude toward values other people may hold. Since Chicago is led by such enlightened people, like Alderman Moreno and our mayor, I guess I need to adjust my definition of tolerance to more be in touch with modern "Chicago values" that apparently have "evolved" to include, no demand, intolerance of other people's intolerance. How intolerant. This is exactly the type of tyrannical moralism that the first amendment was intended to curb.
