Did you read this and get extremely hot with anger because I’m not tolerant of gays and their ways? Well, I am pro gay. I am bisexual. But what I’m demonstrating here is that I have an opinion wrong in your eyes or not. I AM allowed to voice it. I AM allowed to tell you my opinions on matters. Regardless how you view them or not. I live in America where we are protected by the first Amendment and it’s called Freedom of Speech.
Everyone in this world has a different opinion, it may discriminate others but a tiger can not changed their stripes. So please, learn to accept and try to figure out WHY they view things they way they do instead of attacking them.
Change “gays” to “blacks”. Do you see the problem?
You are misunderstanding what ‘freedom of speech’ is. What that note communicates is not an act of ‘free speech’. It’s bullshit. Freedom of speech is the opportunity to promote an idea respectfully. You are given a chance to substantiate your claims with evidence, research and understanding. When people forfeit that opportunity and just say shit like “I hate gays” and expect to be protected from scrutiny because of ‘freedom of speech’, they’re having a laugh. They haven’t their argument any logical defence I will enjoy tearing it down with a savage bloodlust.
So no, ‘freedom of speech’ does not mean you are allowed to say anything you want without repercussions and that this is somehow ‘protected’. It means you get to say what you want, and protect yourself with valid argument that will hopefully serve as a logical defense against scrutiny.
It certainly does not apply to ridiculously idiotic and insulting statements as the one above. Especially not when they stand alone as nothing more than “I hate gays!”.
Freedom of speech does not equal a licence to promote bigotry.
And now I don’t even need to write about how fucking stupid this is.
Patrick did it for me.
