Because equal rights (like the right to not be stoned to death) are soooooo frustrating.

 Frink, in all fairness, please remember Jetrell Fo said this:

I have not now, nor will I ever, condone such acts towards anyone. 

 

 Then pehaps he shouldn't agree with lunatics when they act lunatic-y.

I said I understand his basic reasoning, I did not say I agree with lunacy.  Do not put words in my mouth as Bingo did, it does not suit you well, unless that is the effect you are going for.

 All I'm trying to do is understand what you said.  I guess I failed.

That's fair but I don't think you failed, you just haven't gotten the full blown explanation to make a balanced decision.

Part of the answer already partially lies in RicOlie2's opinions. 

These will be my words only and not meant to speak for anyone else but me.

I believe that the lunatic you refer to is speaking out of frustration.  How far does equality have to go before it is satisfied is the question.  Do we force a Convent which has operated as such for as long as can be remembered to now take Lesbians to avoid being labeled homophobic, prejudiced, or discriminatory in nature?  Do we eradicate parts of the past we don't like to fabricate a false one because some don't agree with it?  How do we then learn from or own our mistakes if they are systematically "whited out" (not a race related comment)?

Do we make dinosaurs half gay to be politically correct?  Do we take every single establishment already created and turn them all on their ears just to satisfy equality?  Is there a limit or are we as a society just scared into overwhelming and overbearing equality compliance that we are willing to dump everyone's soul in to a bag with a brick and dump it into a river just to satisfy one group of a global population?

Respect requires boundaries to work properly.  If we remove those boundaries we might as all well be dead.
