  • The most vocal homophobes probably aren’t mostly a 0 on the Kinsey scale even if they’re heterosexual given 0s probably are not the majority. Especially the kind who act like it’s something that’s okay if you hide it or think you can just turn it off, as described in OP’s case.

    Calling a 1 “gay” is obviously misleading, but from the perspective of many homophobes those occasional thoughts are problematic.



  • Most of the time people bring up “free speech”, its when free speech isn’t even being threatened: they’re just being told their opinions are bad or people don’t want them to get paid for expressing those bad opinions. If your defense of your statements is focused on the free speech aspect, its because you don’t have a reasonable justification. Those who campaigned against slavery defended their positions with arguments about why slavery is bad instead of saying slavery should be abolished otherwise you’re violating my free speech.

    Edit: there’s a difference in being a support of freedom of speech and responding to any criticism by claiming other people expressing their opinion somehow violates your free speech.
