[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- I'm not suggesting anyone should be arrested for expressing offensive views.  I'm just thinking that it's mean and small-minded and hating to spew such garbage about people who love people of their same gender.  And I doubt Jeff -- who by the way does not have to allow any and all speech on this forum as he is not a state actor -- would allow threads saying things like "i don't think black people should be allowed to have the same rights as white people" etc.[/quote]

There are two arguments made here on a pretty regular basis that are pet peeves for me:

1) The argument that "if a white person said (or did) something that a member of a minority group said (or did), everyone would [ do something undesirable ]"
2) The argument that "Jeff wouldn't allow ..."

First of all, not even my wife knows what I would or wouldn't allow. So, I am not sure how you have any idea. If you can find any single minority group that hasn't been upset and offended by a thread on this site, please point it out to me. I have even been offended myself by a thread about short men and another thread that was critical of the name we chose for one of our sons. I would absolutely allow a thread saying that black people should not be allowed the same rights as white people. More than likely, I would join that thread and tear a new orifice in the person who started it. But, absolutely it would be allowed.
