LZ I would suggest that you and the Good Lord spend a few days visiting the Yumbo Centre together and people watch.
What you will see is several very different groups occupying the same space and interacting with each other in exactly the same way as more traditional people... Some open acceptance and some open sneering. And absolutely everything in between.
You could both learn a lot, but I suspect that the GL will be less surprised 
Yes DG, I know you are right again 
It is just that I want to stop the ignorance and stupidity of those who keep attacking what are very vulnerable people, via posts on here or by any other medium. I could just ignore them myself, but what some find as simply a bit of banter can cause real life or death situations, that I witness and advise on, amongst other issues, with Kent Police, and now Thames Valley Police, that could be avoided by a more tolerant and understanding society. I must do my bit to help that process.
I will now try and stay silent………until the next time! 
You missed, or ignored, my point... Your perspective is somewhat narrowed in the broader scheme of things.
That's to say the entire focus is based on a handful of minority individuals with very specific issues, whereas the law and services should be be reflective of society as a whole.
All the measures currently presented are an affront to the values that those systems are based on. You can be mindful of the needs of the smallest minority whilst portraying a solid, stable image upholding law and order. ie the traditional 'Bobby'. Consider that most interactions with the Police stem from negative situations rather than the interactions themselves being negative. This is something that has been greatly eroded by forced divisity.
No DG, I took your point and expanded it.
The "handful" of people you talk about in fact are 10's of thousands across the "minority" of people.
Just as the Jews were a minority in Germany during the 1930's, these groups matter. If we cannot protect them with the cover of law and order, then in due course it will overwhelm us all in the evil of white, nationalism, all conformist, supremacy, that has overcome other societies. Always remember that famous :
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me. That is why we must always protect the so called minorities in our Democracy, otherwise that precious thing, gained by much sacrifice and pain, can be quickly lost as we think only the majority should be given protection, as it was first in Nazi Germany, and even them eventually lost their status to be reduced to nothing.
That is why I will argue for the weak, and the defenseless, as Jesus taught us to do. Even if people does not believe in any type of faith, it does not matter as the message is still the right way to be.
I know I will always be a target for those that object, but hey ho, I have spent most of my life fighting for what I believed was just, right and proper. So I am prepared for the flak!!
