First they came for the racists and nobody gave a toss...
Then they came for the homophobes and nobody gave a toss...
Then they came for the paedos and nobody gave a toss...
Then everybody else lived happily ever after.

I would agree with Charlie that while I accept someone has the right to say what they want (that's the defending bit), I wouldn't be willing to actually stand in the way of the consequences of them saying things that I find abhorrent.
Then you are not defending them.
A person shouldn't face violence because they said things someone didn't like.
If someone has stupid ideas, reason with them.

Racism and homophobia are politically correct nowadays lol
That's precisely my point and it must have flown over your head.
