I’d agree. I know several people who are firmly in disagreement with things and I’d find it hard to consider them anywhere near a line of bigot. That word or similar words with same definition are thrown around so loosely now and it’s a shame. I feel there’d be more understanding if we helped those to understand rather feel dismissed and butt heads.
I’d say almost everyone in my circle of people would consider it outlandishly odd and questionable at best as to why I wear bras. Even more so if they knew I wear panties as well. If I told them I was non binary they’d probably laugh as at 40 almost, non binary seems like a 25 and under thing. But I don’t see anyone who disagrees with me as a bigot just unaware. And if they choose to be unaware or unaccepting, particularly due to religious beliefs, that’s understood and fine to me.
People of all religions follow their holy book, not moral compass, as much as if and we’d like it all to be the same it is a fine line to those who devoutly follow.
You can know in your heart something is not right, but if you are devout and study, follow and lead with your holy book of choosing and that says it’s wrong. Well, it’s more so what’s in the book rather than what’s in the heart. I see it as no different from when a judge says anything along lines of while defendant is a b c, truth is per d vs e of 1973 they were in clear violation of x y z.
It took me a long time to realize that fact, while many use their book to protect their bigotry. Many also are called bigots just cause they follow what their book says. It doesn’t make them a bigot. Just makes them devout. The difference to me is are you treating those you disagree with with hostility or compassion. Dismissing them or saying I disagree but still love you.
