    Let me translate your comment with equivalent wording that reveals it’s true nature.

    Imagine being caught calling for the eradication of jews in private and then being fired and called an anti-semite for the rest of your life. Even though you didn’t bring this into your workplace and then companies being reluctant to hire you.

    also your drug criminalization is an entire load of false equivalence bollocks, drug criminalization is a far more complex issue than Gay Marriage, or rather whether we should treat people equally. There are very valid arguments for certain drugs to be criminalized that are way too easy to abuse and kill people with, like fentanyl and I say that as someone that’s a supporter of full drug decriminalization.

    Not to mention there are levels to drug criminalization, there is a difference if you have a gram of drug on you or a metric fuck ton.

    There is no version of treating LGBT+ as just somewhat less equal that’s morally defensible.

      Sorry english is not my first language, so that wasn’t clear. By drugs, I meant cannabis here, well I don’t know the details in the US but “soft drugs” that’s being de-criminalized there. Not other kinds of drugs. Though that was just an example to make people realize that expressing unpopular opinions, as long as they’re not illegal, should not lead to firing people and insulting them for life.

      Also, you’re the one exposing false equivalences with your godwin point. Being against marriage of homosexual people is not at all akin to mass murder. And the action of calling for the eradication of any people is (rightly to me) illegal in any case.

      There is no version of treating LGBT+ as just somewhat less equal that’s morally defensible.

      Never defended the guy’s opinions, I just find comments here a little bit (euphemism) extreme.

        How do you think genocides start?
