MODERATORS
So you can decide what's allowed to be said and what's not? What happens if it does come and all the old people in office flatout ban any mention of gayness and you get thrown in prison for it?
First off, fuck you and your bad faith argument. Second, if I get thrown in jail for supporting gay rights, I'm fine with that, because I know I'm doing the right thing.
Yes and tyrants and terrorists believe the same thing
Not everyone, who uses terrorism is evil
There is this little thing called "human rights" that's at odds with someone doing something like that. Of course, if your legislation only recognises fReEdOm oF sPeEcH, and not so much the Universal Decaration of Human Rights, things like that can happen.
There are laws on what you can say. Its not allowed to insult someone. And its not allowed to insult ethnicities. Basically the same like every other freedom right: it end where the freedom of another person starts. So no, it wouldn't be possible to ban any mention of gayness.
On the other hand, laws don't fully protect you from this. The US has a very wide understanding of freedom of speech and at the same time has a 'don't say gay' bill.
Wouldn't that mean that intolerance has won and there is no more free speech?
I don't understand your argument.
Actually, being a Nazi is a political choice and means being intolerant toward minorities. Meanwhile, being gay is not a political choice, it doesn't harm anyone, and if you were gay you can't "stop being gay" out of spite.
These differences are fundamental.
... and I'm quoting/ paraphrasing some Antifa thinker whose name I have forgotten. Sorry Internet!
That'd be unconstitutional.
I saw this is euroloser sub. Goodbye I only am interested in America
And a shining example of why the US is not taken seriously anymore.
Enjoy your flawed democracy.
