Yeah, we should shut down free speech in the name of fighting bigotry (sarcasm):

Tact, sensitivity and compassion and empathy for others is different to censorship.

Pointing out homophobia for the hate speech it is is not a restriction of free speech. Nice to muddy the waters with your weasel words though Chad. Shows that you don't have an argument.

Of course. But fining people for not using invented pronouns is indeed censorship. I remember the time when a neo-Nazi group was allowed to march in a predominantly Jewish community (Skokie, IL) in the name of free speech.

Everyone's allowed to make an ass of themselves. It's not shutting down free speech to call out assclownery.

What? I think this ass clown is adorable!

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
