While I would find burning a flag distasteful, I believe it is more important to have free speech. Burn a Bible or burn a flag, fine. Steal the flag and/or call for the death or violence along with that, now you have a problem.
And I would rather live in a society that isn’t draconian even if I have to allow those with opinions I don’t agree with.
Imagine calling hate directed against lgbt people “free speech” go fuck yourself. Fuck your free speech. Your right to speech ends at precisely the point it oppresses marginalised groups. There is no scenario where you can perform this act and not be committing and inciting hate against these groups. Eat shit homophobe.
Relax dude. I have lgbt friends. I simply prefer to live in countries that provides protection to all groups while balancing that with free speech. But I certainly understand the countries that have cracked down the hardest on free speech are also often the countries that have made many of these groups illegal. Sometimes making the punishments death.
This I really have problems with people like you that want to go backwards and encourage government to create overreaching laws. Laws that could make lgbt lifestyles illegal.
I give you source that burning flag alone is fine and you get angry. You seem to have anger issue. It is likely a good thing most people don’t have your opinion and don’t think it is fine to jail someone just because they are a shitty person. Too often that kind of government overreach that could result in you yourself being on the wrong end of the law.
Did I say you were? I am not either. But thanks for telling me. It seems rather moronic to make that assumption. Not even sure how it factors. Kind of a random statement for you to make.
If you hold free speech as more important than hate speech when it comes to very obvious examples of lgbt hatred and incitement against lgbt people you are a homophobe. Get a grip loser.
I definately hold free speech as more important. I am on the opinion that people can hold opinions I don’t agree with and inform me of that regardless of it being vile. I have seen what happens to gay and lesbian people in countries that have governments that control free speech. You are entirely gullible if you think governments will expect conformity in what we express but will then stop and not extend that conformity to sexuality. You need to get a grip on reality.
Generally absent of other crimes, it would be pretty hard to be charged.

you’re literally just doing the “i have black friends” thing
if you consider hate speech as free speech then i am all for censoring free speech
Fuck off. Stop responding to me. In the street you’d get your head caved in for saying this shit over here. Deservedly so.
