| Message | Although the voting is over, I'd like to answer the Unionists' concerns. I don't personally see how Catholic policy vis a vis homosexuals is hate speech, because the Church advocates restricting their rights, not attacking or killing them. I know that you were simply pointing out a problem in the definition of "hate speech" itself, but I think the point about inciting violence is pretty clear. |
