I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. -- Voltaire

  I can't tell if this is supposed to be an argument against what I said, but free speech does not insulate you from criticism or consequences. Go ahead, be homophobic/transphobic/racist/whatever in public (really, feel free!), but don't be surprised when people don't like you and don't want to support your project or community.

  Interestingly, the parent can be interpreted as embodying or contradicting this quote, depending on your perspective.

  Why do people post that quote like it's a physical law rather a personal opinion? I doubt you or most people who do would actually die to defend any and all speech with which they disapprove. Also, Voltaire never actually said that.
