I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

also your drug criminalization is an entire load of false equivalence bollocks, drug criminalization is a far more complex issue than Gay Marriage, or rather whether we should treat people equally. There are very valid arguments for certain drugs to be criminalized that are way too easy to abuse and kill people with, like fentanyl and I say that as someone that’s a supporter of full drug decriminalization.

Sorry english is not my first language, so that wasn't clear. By drugs, I meant cannabis here, well I don't know the details in the US but "soft drugs" that's being de-criminalized there. Not other kinds of drugs. Though that was just an example to make people realize that expressing unpopular opinions, as long as they're not illegal, should not lead to firing people and insulting them for life.

Also, you're the one exposing false equivalences with your godwin point. Being against marriage of homosexual people is not at all akin to mass murder. And the action of calling for the eradication of any people is (rightly to me) illegal in any case.

There is no version of treating LGBT+ as just somewhat less equal that’s morally defensible.

Never defended the guy's opinions, I just find comments here a little bit (euphemism) extreme.

Continuing to marginalize a vulnerable segment of society sends a message that it's ok to harass and kill members of that segment. It's not mass murder, but it certainly encourages violence.

how are you not defending him? you are literally making arguments in his defense or in the defense of someone like him, trying to get people to empathize with him for having an "unpopular opinion"

so if you think mass murders are a bit of a stretch (it really isn't if you know anything about fascism) let's say he donated to a political group whose goal is to make interracial marriage illegal, do you still think you need to make comments about how that's "just an unpopular opinion"?

How do you think genocides start?
