Thread Name: BS: Supreme Court & gay marriage decision
Subject: RE: BS: Supreme Court & gay marriage decision
It's this "entitled to opinion" bullshit that's gets me. Gay people still have fear of non acceptance and to stumble upon posts by people such as Akenaton, spewing lies in order to prove a point of hating them, well.. Is that free speech? Vulnerable people have been known to sink into self harm and suicide through reading of hatred of them by people they don't even know. It's why we need moderation.

If this website was in The UK, the host ISP would require his posts to be deleted as incitement to hatred. As it is, he is culpable, hence my reporting to my ISP that UK originated published hatred is available. A little man with little views is not on their priority list but I still can't agree with the stance of the moderators.

I can't understand gay love. Most of my close friends are men, I certainly love my male close family, as the word "love" covers all aspects of caring, nurturing and support but I couldn't take a man as my lover any more than a gay man could take a woman into an intimate relationship.

But hate? Put forward the idea that gay men should be forcebly tested for disease against their will? Trying telling us that married gay people look for sex with others? Akenaton lives in an area with a higher proportion of women's refuge care for battered wives, but it would take his logic, not the Logic of rational people to make the mental leap that begs here.

The only people coming out of this debate looking foolish are the few who defend his stance, claim it is not borne of bigotry or try to take sentences out of context to dismiss counter arguments.
