I respect your point to the highest regard- and yet I'm somewhat inclined to back up elfwreck on this one. To be completely honest, I do understand her point, though it is definitely not my viewpoint. Disagree with her! That's fine!
My problem is with this statement:
"It is not in your general direction. It is directly at you. You should be ashamed of yourself, and everyone you know should be ashamed of you as well. That you are not merely proves my point."
How can you possibly feel the right to say that to someone? Fundamentally, this could easily be spoken by a hyper-conservative person in regards to how homosexuality offends them...
A difference in opinion does not justify the hatred of the person them self (though that's most definitely subjective), particularly if you don't actually KNOW them.
It's only censorship if what's being said is politically correct. Hah.
"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it."
