Thread Name: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Subject: RE: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Sorry Don I cross posted. I was responding to Insane B.
In response to your post, I would say that worldwide there are many many millions who think deeply about homosexual marriage, certainly within the Catholic Church and the Scottish Presbyterian Church.
Discussions on Homosexuality itself used to be commonplace but since the practice became "politicised" people tend to keep their thoughts to themselves..
The rights issue is of course nothing to do with whether the practice is disgusting or not. Although I think most heterosexual people do feel disgust viewing or even discussing the homosexual act.
Are people who call others "hate spewing scum" for holding a different opinion, not as bad as those who are indeed "homophobic"?
