Editors' Note: Guest blogger Jenna Lloyd is a long-time LGBT supporter, friend and fan. Jenna previously worked as an image consultant helping transsexuals and crossdressers with their journey along the gender spectrum. She has presented at Southern Comfort and many smaller events. While not truly transgender herself, Jenna identifies as a genetic female who is heterosexual, but does, on occasion, get excited over a woman.

I really do believe that preaching Tolerance is one of the worst ideas ever. Don't misunderstand, I can certainly appreciate and support the spirit in which it came about - find a way to have everyone play nice.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
