> I contend that it would be wrong, i.e. immoral. If you disagree with that, we can try to have an argument about that. Read again what you have formulated above. You just asserted that it's 'immoral' without giving any argument or evidence for it. Surely, you should formulate an argument yourself first, before asking for one.

Well, it depends a bit on what is meant by "banning LGBT content", but suppose that a gay couple wouldn't be allowed to post their wedding pictures. Since, presumably, all straight couples can do so, Facebook would effectively imply that gay couples are somehow "wrong" and should not be shown to people. I would find that deeply immoral because gay people are not worth less than straight people. However, I would have thought that this line of reasoning is self-evident on a forum such as this one...

  Your argument is convoluted and confused, the worth of the individual has nothing to do with the action/event being 'right' or 'wrong'. Furthermore what relevance does it even have when something is 'deeply immoral' (according to you)? Will they be punished by Zeus or Karma or neither? Since assuming it's perfectly legal and morally good in their locality, they couldn't care less about what you think of it. What is self evident to you might be self evidently wrong to others, let your arguments speak instead of appealing to your local culture. this is an international forum and one shouldn't just assume that everybody thinks and values the exact same things. maybe start off by explaining why your moral framework is supposedly 'absolute' and not just some arbitrary choice you made that is convenient to you and how it's supposedly better or more valid than the moral framework of the people you lazily vilified as 'crazy' just because they oppose you on certain issues.

    I don't care if those people don't care about my moral assessment of them. I still get to choose what I find moral and what I don't find moral, and I get to fight for what I think is right. And now I'm done talking to homophobes.

      Quite the convenient cop-out, not even surprised. You failed to deliver any arguments (valid or invalid) for your 'morality' and resorted to name-calling. See that makes your 'moral assessment' as worthless as your infantile name-calling. If you had any valid arguments, you would have given them. Thanks for the exchange anyway.
