"Selectman Richard Olson said tolerance toward those who signed the petition is as necessary as toward those who support gay marriage. 'If somebody feels for religious or other reasons that same sex marriage is wrong, they're entitled to it,' he said."

WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Let's replace his regular coffee with Folger's crystals.

"Selectman Richard Olson said tolerance toward those who own slaves is as necessary as toward those who support the abolition of slavery. 'If somebody feels for religious or other reasons that the abolition of slavery is wrong, they're entitled to it,' he said."

NO. There is NO TOLERANCE FOR THIS. There is no tolerance for hate, there is no tolerance for discrimination, there is no tolerance for denying rights to human beings. The people who feel this way must be told that they are WRONG.

People are not entitled to be wrong!!

Hehe, yeah. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but there's nothing that says I need to be tolerant to bigotry. Now that doesn't mean I can go assault them, but I can (and should) certainly call them on it.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but everyone doesn't get to have a legal opinion. The law says no slaves, even if people are of the opinion they should have some. Same goes for all other civil rights.
