while changing a homophobes mind is one thing, gradual change public perception is another. which is what im talking about here, with democracy and 'caring what common beliefs and ideas are'. Cause the law saying 'the only good pornographer is a dead pornographer' is really only one election away
caring what common beliefs and ideas are is one thing, being unable to distinguish a 'want' for a 'right' is another.

Would I like it if they were no racists, homophobes, sexists, etc? Sure I would. Thinking I have any 'right' to force people to believe what *I* want them to is in my book, no different from a racist believing they have a 'right' to force me to believe in their ideals. A bit like the anti-religious nuts being just as bad as the religious nuts.
