What happened was someone didn't want to debate with Peter Tatchell, and declined an invite to an event. That's the extend of "no platforming". That's nonsense. Should everyone be required to attend any event regard

"Gay & transpeople people are ill and/or preverts" is not an extreme. There are a great many people and politicians who make those claims today. Just look at North Carolinas' new law.

A lot of instances of "no platforming" is just someone refusing to participate in an event if someone else is present (usually because the person doesn't like the other, or their politics). Everyone has a right to not take pa

The Guardian newspaper in the UK (y'know one of the newspapers Edward Snowden reached out to), are exactly that. Except you can read it for free online. You can consider signing up as a Guardian Member if you want to support them.

Vote for politicians who support such a law. Join/form a union that will campaign for that sort of law. Talk to your friends and family to tell them that such a law should be brought in.

A "rape" category doesn't have to include scenes of the act. Someone who doesn't want to see anything to do with rape, would not want to hear rape jokes.
