Who are you talking about that is insisting there can be no deviation from the norm?

Right-wingers, the only people who have ever had a problem with diversity.

Banning words and discussions is absolutely the wrong way to go.

I'm confused about what you mean, because the only people doing that are the "Don't Say Gay" Florida Republicans.

And my point is very simple. Don't ban words.

I get the feeling that you're going to be angry when I point out that the only people banning words are the ones who want to make it illegal to teach kids that people like me exist.

Have open discussions. Don't support censorship of opinions or words.

Make up your mind, do you want to actually have open discussions or do you think that avoiding censorship of the "opinions and words" of discriminatory groups is more important than the presence of the groups they discriminate against?

Stop trying to control what people should think, and stop trying to teach them what you think is right.

...

What do you think "teaching" is?
