And it continues

I discovered this post earlier today, and.. well, it made me upset. And angry that there was a need for it to be written, because it shouldn't be the people on the receiving side of shit that who to adapt. It goes with how the one who's being stepped is always the one who needs to listen. "You should understand that they bully you because they're so unhappy with yourself." "You should understand how horrible it is for church that they have to let gays get married." "You should understand how horrible it is to be accused of racism." It's always the same thing. This demand for listening nicely ignores the fact that the other side is already doing it. It's kind of not a choice.

And the side that has the choice to listen or not? Usually doesn't. So let's stop with that "we need to meet each other the half-way" crap. (You first.)
