We as a society decided homosexual advocacy was dangerous speech just decades ago. We were so enlightened then, right?



'Let's do gay sex' vs 'let's kill people in group X' seems like one of those apples and oranges comparisons people are always talking about.


This comment goes against HN guidelines.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Consider this a warning, as we eventually ban accounts of repeat offenders.

What's wrong and what's right? Who defines it? When? And why?
