Or maybe people should be free to associate as they wish? This seems to be the hardest concept for fellow Americans to grasp because it seems to be a growing (parasitically so) notion that we have to be friends to strangers who actively oppose to who we are or our interests. I don't want to force someone who thinks I'm a sinner for being bi and trans to be my friend nor do I want to be a friend to such a person. Nor should they or I have to endure each other's company beyond what's necessary to get a task done in public. If that's putting up a cocoon I'm not sure how civilization will get along then when every social interaction turns into a virtual duel. I'd rather just put up with fake courtesy than force someone into a fight with me or vice versa. Toleration is a better lubricant for social order than is constant challenges to deeply held beliefs.
