Billy, they are one and the same, unless, of course, you are the one "embracing the life style" being that way.
One cannot be accepting and tolerant without embracing it (accepting it).
To say you must agree with my choices and lifestyle or there is something wrong with you.
Or is that stance non-tolerance & non-acceptance ?
Huh? I think I know what you were trying to say, though.
*I* may not want to partake of *your* lifestyle, but by accepting it as *your choice* is embracing it and accepting it as a viable lifestyle.
Just like accepting that a red neck is a red neck is a red neck and that they have 6 cars somewhere in the grass in the front yard. Hey, it *is* their "lifestyle", it's okay with me. But *I* would not want it or do it.
