Suibhne....."Ten years ago my cousin was murdered for being gay."

Although horrific in itself, that bald statement says nothing about serious criticism of Homosexuality.
My nephew and many more were knifed in Glasgow for supporting the wrong football team.
Catholic/protestant violence is commonplace.
Violence against homosexuals or abuse of homosexuals or lesbians is much rarer in comparison.
If someone is killed assaulted or verbally abused, the laws are in place to deal with it, but dont bring your fascism down on others to curtail their right to express themselves.
