Bigoty vs. Freedom of speech - a conversation

“I demand freedom of thought!”

“Okay.”

“I think your marriage is a joke. A marriage of two men is like a marriage of a toaster and a blender.”

“Ummm…”

“You mean you disagree?”

“Yes, I disagree.”

“What do you have against freedom of thought?”

“Nothing. I just think you’re a bigot. That’s all.”

“You what??? I… I don’t like that you think that!”

“I noticed.”

“You’re trying to go all thought-police on me, aren’t you?”

“No. I just think you’re a bigot.”

“Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it?”

“Nothing.”

“Look, not long ago everyone thought like me. I’m not so strange.”

“I didn’t say you were strange.”

“Do you think they’re all bigots, too?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t like that you think that way.”

“I noticed.”

“But things have changed so fast.”

“Yes. Yes they have.”

You're just not free to use government to express your bigotry ie make laws to hold people down.

And we're free to think less of you.

I swear if I hear "reverse-racism" from another wing nut...
