Rather, the homosexual is an individual who can be identified solely by his acts, not by who he is. This fact presents a problem to many gay activists. For the true agenda of many homosexual groups is not simple tolerance, but acceptance and validation. Tolerance of homosexual activity in society is already achieved. What gays really want is a society where deviant sexual activities are considered equally valid and normal as married heterosexual relationships.
Simple tolerance is actually a step back for the gay agenda rather than a step forward.
Tolerance is then achieved. Acceptance is not. Consider the Christian freshman. She is a quiet girl and only shares her faith with those who solicit guidance or advice. She tolerates him.
