Like I've said many times. Tolerance is a double-edged sword. If you want the Christian community to tolerate the gay community, you've got to tolerate that most Christians believe the act of gay sex to be wrong.

I agree with this sentiment, but I don't think A&E's problem with Roberson was that he said the homosexuality is sin, but that he compared it to bestiality. 

But I do think the situation shows what Ender was talking about before:

talk disrespectfully about homosexuals and you get fired

talk disrespectfully about Christianity and that is perfectly ok, no big deal.  

I can't tell you the numbers times I've heard people on tv talk just as bad about Christianity as Robertson did homosexuality and no one had any trouble with it whatsoever.

 I agree. People seem to be able to get away with Christian or Christianity bashing, but when the Christians start saying that homosexual acts are wrong, then there's trouble. Not without exception, of course, but why is it OK to insult Christians but not to say that homosexual sex and marriage is wrong?
