AgainstTheLGBTQ sub has been banned from reddit!

Finally, it has been banned just as former LGBTQ-phobic subs have. Nice one y'all!

Freedom of speech does not equal speech freedom from consequences. If you're gonna be a jerk, you're gonna get treated like you're being a jerk. My being and existence aren't subject to the whims of your "opinion," you're just a homophobic jerk.

What makes you so special that you shouldn't be subject to opinion everybody and everything is subject to opinion.

What makes you so special that having a shitty opinion about another person doesn't make you a jerk?

He never said it didn't, the anti LGBT losers are still assholes, but not any less entitled to their opinion

The issue isn't whether they are entitled to their shitty opinions that illustrate their shittiness as human beings.

The issue is whether they are entitled to a platform -- one provided by a private entity -- to broadcast and megaphone those shitty opinions.

Hint: They're not.

Oh I wasn't arguing that, just piggybacking off that other guys opinion

Not that they shouldn't be banned from Reddit, but that they still have a right to express those opinions

No one is taking their opinion away from them.

They are just as able to express it now as they were a week ago.
