[quote]Anyway, I don't think society is too accepting at all. People still get bullied and discriminated against for everything from having an unusual hair colour to being gay. That doesn't particularly sound like being "accepting". People should feel free to be individuals[/quote]

Not bullying is tolerance. Encouraging or celebrating is acceptance. I will tolerate being a PETA nut. I will never accept it. 

The least the bullied could do is stop threatening the bully with force. If you don't want to bake a cake for a gay couple, that should be tolerated.
