I am of the opinion that the OP has been watching to many west wing reruns. The simple facts are rather undeniable. homsexuality is abnormal to the species at large. many religions condemn the act. homosexuals represent less than .001% of the population. Muslim nations treat them far more harshly than we ever thought of.

let me ask you a question. From reading my posts how did you get the idea I was afraid of homosexuals? From what I have written it seems an odd thing to say.

Freedom of speech. It may be annoying but if you curtail freedom of speech for one group, it'll happen for others.
They have organized a whole machine to go after them and dig up any kind of dirt on them in order to censor/reprimand them in the media...or press. And the press goes along with it. And the media in this country is a shill for the body politic. I call this a default setting...like this computer..it is allowed to play through...unquestioned ..unchallenged by opposing views.
The concept of what I am speaking ..is obviously very difficult for you to fathom in your emotive state.
And now here in drama you attempt to broaden out your Hitler technique by implying I am a racist and don't like black people.
You are scrapping the bottom of the barrel in attempting your own method to do what this person Perez Hilton did to the contestant. I finally look up the name.
It does not work on me. You need to get out more. To practice real enlightenment, intelligence, and tolerance.
Could you post an example with source showing "them" attempting to censor someone?
I am astonished that you should even ask this question after how this group and the media shilling for them treated this woman.

So you are willing to have your name and home address given to the main stream media? You are ok posting your name and address on the internet so anyone and everyone who disagrees with you can come to your home 24/7? So crowds of people can come to your home day and night and carry on for weeks and weeks? Really?

And where is THAT written down?
it is pasted all over the NEW Testament.... read it,, and no I won't feed it to you on a silver spoon either
They are not in favor of this kind of free speech. That is obvious to people who can think for themselves.
I live in Canada so up here she could've faced some legal ramifications depending on how she phrased it but I don't agree with hate speech laws because I think that it just feeds the haters victim based rhetoric. I'm a stronger supporter of free speech than most and I don't see how anybody's right to free speech was infringed upon here

Sexuality is never made public display in the manner in which this group tries to force acceptance on an unwilling public.
Really? I must not be seeing the same things you are because every day I see people displaying their sexuality. Walk into a park, see a couple kissing? walk down the street, see that Husband and Wife holding hands...
As to that "unwilling public", well that doesn't hold any water because at one time that "unwilling public" didn't want women to vote or lets Blacks sit in the front of the bus.

Please prove this. The only group I know of that has actually been caught doing this are the scientologists.

You're doing again to me what you're claiming "they" are doing to others
Look, you've been busted my friend. Time to man up and just say you're wrong. I know it can be tough but you're an adult right? I know you have it in you
And now here in drama you attempt to broaden out your Hitler technique by implying I am a racist and don't like black people.
Just applying your own logic
They did not censor her. She spoke her mind.
What you're suggesting is that we should be able to say whatever we want and in any venue without any consequences at all. Using your logic, for example, a man should be able to walk up to a female co-worker and tell her she has a really nice rack without any consequences.

What is with all this repeated reference to "drama"? Is that a not so discreet barb towards gay persons who you see as being overly dramatic. You must have used that term a hundred times here so far (am I being overly dramatic? lol)
You talk about holding hands not being sexual. If you saw two men walking down any street in America, holding hands, what would be your automatic assumption? Of course you would make assumptions about their sexuality. and you would be appauled.
If only you could step back and see your hypocrisy. You speak out of both sides of your mouth and do everything you accuse gay people of doing. I believe that is called "projection" (of your faults onto others.)

Your logic and technique are faulty here..and laced with drama/emotions to justify your position.
Like I told Helmkat, others before you have so used and misused this "Victim/time warp technique in an attempt to make others look guilty...it gets olde once you have trained yourself to spot it.
Among the women and feminists..it is what I call the Burka victim technique..
Who is busted here?
She did indeed speak her mind..and she was very graceful about it. The response in reprimand/censorship was not graceful in return. It was rude and uncivil. IN this manner ...reprimand it was censorship.
Obviously you and I have a totally different definition of censorship.
I have seen this so much in public education, politics, and on blogs that it becomes predictable and like radar ..one can see it coming.
