Just two things I wanted to write down with respect to the current shitstorm over rainbow colours:

"Why don't you tolerate my intolerance then?" --> Because, quoting Karl Popper, if we tolerate intolerance, we create unlimited tolerance, and in the end destroy tolerance overall, called the Paradox of tolerance. Therefore 'we should claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.'

"But we all have freedom of speech!" --> Here we go with another paradox. You are using freedom of speech as a way to eliminate and suppress the speech of those you disagree with. In fact, your 'freedom of speech' has now transformed into 'hate speech', something completely different. 

It's fine if you disagree with something, we all do. However, try to not come of as an uneducated idiot, because that's how we got situations like Brexit and Trump. Educate yourself, and try to put an effort in understanding others before putting your comments out there that are only made to evoke pointless and saddening discussions, that lack background, that lack knowledge, and that are only pure and egoistically about your intolerance and your so-called freedom of speech.
