I think people should strive to be polite. ~~Some~~ Many MANY people are asshats just because, regardless of whether it might be called for. In general, I think respect and general politeness is a laudable goal. I understand that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but I don’t, for myself, think stomping around and making a scene is the proper way to get someone offering you a service to give you what you want.

Well, there’s a problem with that, even beyond the implications that you’re saying we should be tolerant of another’s intolerance.

These people don’t return the same respect that you ask us to afford of them. Violent assaults are still being conducted in the the name of anti gay bigotry. Conversion therapy is still legal in most of the United States, meaning that bigoted parents can elect to having their children religiously shamed and tormented for being LGBT (if they aren’t disowned outright, which is a very real possibility too.) And we’re the ones acting out for saying, “Hey, maybe you shouldn’t include a license for adoption centres to be homophobic in your bill”?

Finally, what do you want us to consider, “stomping around and making a scene?” Do you really think that people are going to make infantile temper tantrums? Are you saying we shouldn’t organize protests? Are you saying we shouldn’t discuss this matter with even the slightest bit of frustration and annoyance in our voice?
