It is unfair and hypocritical to demand that homophobics accept homosexuality, while simultaneously essentially outlawing acceptance (and barely tolerating) homophobia. This rule is an attempt to make the place more peaceful and less angry, but it simply isn't doing this. The same bitterness, the same hatred, the same loathing still remain, only this time it is directed at someone else. The OP also states "They chose to come here, to this community, to find friends." The homophobics, who are now being discriminated against, came here for the same reason.
