I'm saying that I'm an advocate for equality. :)

Edit: Perhaps I should say "fair treatment" instead of "equality", as "equality" is rather loaded and can mean different things depending on context. My bad.

And besides, now that I am editing anyway and haven't received any answers to this comment. I do not think that everyone needs to be tolerant or needs to be tolerated, as that is a fallacy. Tolerate those who tolerate you, respect those who show you respect. And yet, one should at least try to tolerate those who disrespect one, unless they cause you significant harm, as there will always be those with differing opinions.

We can't make everybody happy, and I personally despise both extremes of this argument; those who tolerate nobody, and those who advokate to tolerate everybody, but themselves choose only to do so when it's comfortable. Of course this includes those who are so tolerant that they go on 'witch hunts' against those who are 'intolerant', with little or no aggression from the other side.
