You and your followers can, in our Democratic Republic based on our Constitution, take whatever position you want to take. You can say whatever you want to say, even if it is stupid, or bigoted, or a lie (up to certain points). Your freedoms are fully intact.<br /><br />But, that doesn't exempt you from blowback, nor does it mean that others have to join your little hate party. For example, you could go around spouting the same beliefs as the skin-heads or the KKK. No one will stop you, but most decent, civilized South Carolinian's will no longer want to associate with you. And while America still has work to do on racism, even if you've got a white sheet and hood in the back of your closet, you wouldn't go out without the hood. And now, much to your chagrin, you're finding out that America's belief system is also leaving you in the dust when it comes to equality for LGBT people. <br /><br />My suggestion Oran, get used to it. Because there is some truth to what you say about not being able to take certain positions...if you want decent people to associate with you.BJohnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04268277554802121599noreply@blogger.com
