Just remember, like it or not, people are entitled to a view. It may be removed from yours but they are still entitled to it. Laws have been passed to prevent people being disadvantaged by discriminatory views being expressed. They do nothing other than force people to be tolerant about the group concerned, be they gay, female, male, black, jewish, etc.. These laws do not force people to like the group. The more people feel that they are being told what to do, human nature dictates that they will do the reverse. As a white hetero middle aged male, I get really upset that I can be a source of ridicule on TV adverts and soaps where all men are shown as stupid (can't work the computer, washing machine, cooker, etc) whilst women are shown to be all powerful multi functioning beings who make all the decisions (Josh, dad's found yer scooter!). If I say gay blokes on TV who expect to be liked by everyone despite being annoying t*ats offend me, I will be castigated. If I say that black men make cr*p olympic swimmers but great boxers, am I being racist? Who is being disadvantaged by me stating this view? We have become very hung up on looking for problems rather than consider the deeper issues.
