I wholeheartedly agree. As an industry, we should know better than anyone the futility of censorship and the long term problems it can cause. As a country we've made a dedicated effort to protect freedoms of speach and thought. I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the bitter end for your right to say it.
Nobody said fighting for freedom of thought and speach would ever be easy. It's not easy for me to sift through this board and recognize the fear, hatred and misunderstanding that is so aparent toward gay men and women, simply for being gay. By the same token, there are many people here that I don't understand. I wouldn't want to censor the misohomo (hey, did i just create a new word?) coments...how would I know where I stand? How would I know which battles are worth pouring my energies into and which are futile efforts to affect decidedly stagnant ignorance?
I may not like what you have to say, but I will fight for your right to say it.
