Unfortunately what you do not hear from the media are all the facts that show homosexuality/transexuality in a negative light. The thing is "jumping all over" someone just because they have a different opinion than you could mean putting up laws for society that have huge negative impacts. If you ban out all differences of opinion, thats fascism. If we base our laws on being more accepting where do we draw the line? Will we accept pedophiles or beastophiles? polygamists? Who gets accepted and who doesn't? Because if you base the laws on accepting everyone at what point does it create an unhealthy society?
