Closed minded suppression of the "QUEERS ARE PERVERTS" viewpoint

Jump to navigation Jump to search

I am far more concerned with this destruction of a vigorous, uncensored, respectful and constructive "civic conversation" than I am with the silencing of the marriage norm, which the queer community understandably finds inconvenient. ("QUEERS ARE PERVERTS" is a crude statement of part of the marriage norm, which I have defined in another conversation on Wikinews.)

You can talk to yourself all you like.

The wonderful thing about free speech is we don't have to listen.

If you live in the United States or in any other democracy, then you DO have a civic duty to listen. Democracy cannot function if the citizenry is closed minded and does not tolerate the effective expression of ideas that are unpleasant.
