You make it sound like passion is such a bad thing. What you'd like to do is just wait for close-minded people to die, rather than have a strong opinion about something now, rather than to fight about what's right now.
Where would we be if we applied that to everything political? We'd still have slaves. I wouldn't be aloud to get an education past 14, because I'd be too busy getting married at have babies. You wouldn't even exist, and if you did? You'd be one of the biggest taboo's of all.
You can't sit around and wait to have beliefs become reality. Things aren't going to change if people don't make them.
Telling a woman that she wasn't "legitimately raped" is wrong. Telling a woman what she can and can't do with her body is wrong. Telling two gay men or women in love that they are unfit to raise a child, no matter how capable they may be, is wrong. And, according to you, stating those things is just as wrong. And it's not.
People believing that the right's of other people should be taken away because it doesn't match up with their beliefs is not something to just accept. And to sit around, never having an opinion about anything, is pacifistic.
