I appreciate risking downdoots. I have downdoots disabled in my user settings, so I only see updeets. The lack of downdoot etiquette on lemmy is aggravating sometimes. “Downvotes are not for disagreement” my ass :P
it’s important to understand viewpoints of conservative people, even if we don’t agree with them. I think the community on lemmy really struggles with taking political opposition seriously.
regarding (2) I don’t know about “cannot force religion to recognize gay marriage,” since Canada does indeed force religion to recognize gay marriage. So it’s not a can/can’t thing. Personally, I don’t really have strong feelings one way or the other if religions don’t want to recognize gay marriage; I don’t really understand religion.
