I especially love this: “Acceptance is not a zero-sum game. One does not need to pull or push others down in order to achieve equality and societal parity. In fact, doing so is the opposite of equality.”
I get really frustrated when people treat the excesses of activists and noisemakers as a call to reject real social progress and harmony. Just start each new interaction from a baseline of "nice" and harmony - that costs nothing.
Well said Peter, thank you!
