It's "No Name Calling Week," you idiot

Why is it anything that promotes tolerance of all people is now part of the "pro-gay agenda?" First we have SpongeBob and friends getting attacked for singing "We Are Family," now we have people complaining at the idea of "No Name Calling Week" in schools:

"No Name-calling Week" takes aim at insults of all kinds — whether based on a child's appearance, background or behavior. But a handful of conservative critics have zeroed in on the references to harassment based on sexual orientation.

"I hope schools will realize it's less an exercise in tolerance than a platform for liberal groups to promote their pan-sexual agenda," said Robert Knight, director of Concerned Women for America's Culture and Family Institute.

"Schools should be steering kids away from identifying as gay," Knight said. "You can teach civility to kids and tell them every child is valued without conveying ... that failure to accept homosexuality as normal is a sign of bigotry."

Robert, I'm not sure that's the point. It's not to accept homosexuality as normal, but to accept actual homosexuals themselves as people with rights, people that should not be singled out for after school beatings, swirlies, or even the dreaded jolly roger.

I can accept someone for what they are outside of what I think about their life choices. I can, as an example, have respect for a single mother for being a strong provider while still looking down on sex outside of marriage. But I don't demonize the woman for making a decision I would not agree with myself. I don't open her up for mocking and derision. I treat her with respect.

That's all SpongeBob is asking, folks? Can't we all just get along?
