Wrong, the entire issue of homosexuality is an abomination and should be removed from society everywhere. The t-shirt was noting more than "trolling" for vile homosexual desires. She should have been jailed, tried, then stoned................as should all who practice homosexuality.


I'm going to assume you're either drunk, high or being brilliantly sarcastic. But in the event you're not...

You're EXACTLY like the fanatical Islamic terrorists. They would totally agree with every word of your post. In fact, I would strongly urge you to emigrate to Iran, where they still kill people for practicing homosexuality. You'd LOVE it there, as those are obviously your kind of people.

But frankly, you just don't fit in contemporary western society, where we try to understand people who are different than ourselves (even folks like you). The general concensus is that whatever goes on between two consenting adults is their own business. You seem to think it's yours -- and that, literally, someone should be executed for a single word on their t-shirt. Sorry, but that's not only hilariously extremist, it is mentally ill.

My only point is that these are also sexual preferences and society doesn't take kindly to displaying them in public. Why then is homosexuality different? Why is it "free speech" when somebody puts their sexual preference on a T-shirt, but "offensive" when it's a sexual preference you don't happen to like?


That's the point. The 'offense' is quite subjective. If you are a citizen in our form of a democracy, you are meant to be willing to defend to the death her right to wear that shirt where she likes. To fail to do so is to fail the test of democracy.

He isn't cross as much as afraid. I agree with the previous poster who posited that such a reaction is indicative of someone repressing something and the topic striking too close to home has stressed it beyond the breaking point: Hence the ranting.

You mean the same way everyone defended my right to voice my opinion? Better take a closer look at the meaning of democracy my friend.

And when you quote me, please remember that it's often a reply to a previous reply, don't present it as a stand alone statement as so many others have done throughout this thread.

I see a bunch of posts reacting to your denial of someone's right to free speech. I don't see anyone censoring you or calling the cops. How are your rights being infringed exactly?

We are not friends.

If you feel i have violated the T&C somehow you have remedies for it that are well documented. I suggest you avail yourself of them.
