they are just hyper sensitive to any reproach.

By the time a gay man leaves high school he has probably been subjected to more threats of physical violence than most of us experience in our lives. Many of those threats get carried out. How would you feel if people who disapproved of your religion or race "voiced their disapproval" by following you down the street threatening to kick your teeth down your throat. How would you feel if people started publishing documents and websites proclaiming that you are a curse and a scourge, that God hates you, that it should be illegal to be what you are. Would you perhaps get "hypersensitive"?

I think you have the right to voice your opinion in a public forum in a civilized and non-threatening way. Personal harassment and direct threat, which many gay people experience almost daily, are another matter altogether.

Why not just leave them be? They don't threaten you, they don't harm you in any way. My grandmother once told me "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". Even if you have the technical right to speak, if it hurts someone and helps nobody, why not just keep your mouth shut, as any civilized person would?

All in all, it sounds like BS to me. Or possibly caviar.

LOL!
