That's the same thing they said about gays and miscegenators. They weren't opposed just because people were on their high horses — no, it was the damage that gays and miscegenators did to society that required us to run them out of society.

Believing homosexual behavior undermines society is predicated on a false premise: biblical morality.

Doing shitty things that undermine the lives of others is objectively evil.

Like petitioning to get them fired from their jobs? That kind of thing?

I can see how you would think being fired from a job is on the same level as not being allowed to freely live your life without someone shitting on your rights. Wait no I don't.

Everyone is entitled to free speech, but that doesn't mean there aren't consequences for what you decide to do with it.
