A reminder that among other things, the following were considered “offensive” things to yell in the town square:
Womens suffrage
Civil rights
Socialism
Communism
Gay rights
Marijuana advocacy
Abortion rights
Catholic Church sex abuse
Perhaps whether or not something is “offensive” is a terrible metric upon which to restrict speaking about it.
