I just had an argument with a very ignorant person about censorship and I can't calm down now. He wants to argue with over 40 years worth of Supreme Court precedent, that's his business but he looks stupid doing it. I'm really riled up and it upsets me that people can be so hateful and ignorant. Maybe I'm not cut out for litigation. I take it too seriously and personally. I just don't understand why or how people can be like that. And it frustrates me to the point of tears that they can't see how wrong they are. I suppose wrong is in the eye of the beholder, but how can anyone think that discrimination based on an innate characteristic is right? How can anyone claim that something that has existed in all species including humans since the beginning of time is immoral? And how can they hate people they have never even met?

If we limit ourselves to these narrow definitions of censorship and hatred and discrimination, they we are just facilitating their unbridled perpetuation. I honestly feel like his argument against a broad definition of censorship was just a veil for his argument against homosexuality, and a thin one at that.
