The right to free speech doesn't mean the right to not face any social consequences for your speech.
- reitanqild 12y agoFunny that you should bring that up: Until recently it was the other way around - tell someone you aren't straight and risk losing the job. Why is it suddenly be acceptable the other way around?
- seba_dos1 12y agoTelling someone you're straight and supporting oppression of not straight people are two completely different things.
- philwelch 12y agoIt's interesting which way the double standard swings on this; for instance, the McCarthy-era Hollywood blacklist was exactly the same kind of "social consequence".
