I think there is a difference between demanding "equality" and demanding "humane treatment of all humans". Treating everyone humanely means recognizing differences, accepting them, respecting them, and act accordingly, not simply force everyone to be equal.

There's no reason to demonize people who demand equality for all.

Hey, long time, no see :) How are you?
Now, what is that supposed to say above? Is anyone "demonizing" this? I have not heard anybody wishing people go to hell or being the devil for saying they wish people to be equal - maybe I am not enough engaged in "social media" and "hate-speech" (irony).
I find it's a buzz word and treated superficially ... but being "demonized"?
Maybe it's critisized but that'a already something totally different. I myself do have critique. First, one cannot "demand" equality and secondly, if you think about it in terms of tolerance, why must people of different world views be convinced by such great lobbies to unite their notions?
Why send people on the streets in order to march for those rights, when they already are installed in the western world? Must one catch even the last one to convert to this world view? Why the hurry, why this concentration and pressure? Are gay people being thrown in prison for their gayness? I mean, we are not allowed to meet and greet in large gatherings, let alone clubbing, dancing, celebrating on the streets without having to fear that the police is coming.
But maybe I became too old for all this and don't get it that people don't care what label there is on their signs when marching, mainly, they may basically pretend to care about the topic and really do enjoy being together without being bothered by interfering police or other groups.
Well, keeping quiet won't advance your cause much.

Hmm... I am not quiet, actually. I think we don't have to debate as if we are from different sides, right? I think you may know what I meant.
I have another approach to the world. When I see something within my range where I can take influence, I do. I never discriminate anyone for what he might represent with evil intent or insult or whatever. I respect and treat people with decency even when they have a different opinion. But of course, I open my mouth when it gets unfair for myself or for those who are close to me. This is the "world" I live in. I do not so much care for the rest of the globe, for I cannot demand people from different cultures to be equal to me, meaning my beliefs, my convictions, my principles or morals. Would I want "the world" being like me, I would be a tyrant.
Yep, but in this international space we call the intarwebz, we can share ideas and encourage those who want something better.
Here's what happens when you keep your mouth shut,
