Being this is a discussion site discussions have 2 views one is Pro and the other is Con. In order to have a discussion and exercise free speech, you have to be able to express ideas that others might not appreciate. If the desire is to have an echo chamber then maybe the name of the website needs to be changed.
Here’s my issue when there’s an OP concerning homosexuality only Pro opinions are allowed. I’ve had a 3-day ban twice simply by giving either traditional moral objections or religious objections. I’ve never called anybody names or been particularly nasty. If the discussion was on adultery I would present some the very same arguments as I would with homosexuality. That doesn’t mean I hate adulterers or homosexuals. Just because I disagree with the sexual lifestyle isn’t the same as hating someone. And I supply the reason for my objections.
/ˌhōməˈfōbēə/
noun
dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people.
Notice homosexual practice is not in that definition.
I don’t hate any person, I can disagree with a person’s lifestyle I could even point out how that lifestyle might be destructive to society but that doesn’t mean I hate a given person. To simply describe traditional or biblical objections to the homosexual lifestyle as homophobic is a dishonest way of suppressing speech. Now if I started calling an adulterer, or homosexual nasty names and degrading them as a person that’s completely different. I have not been banned because of any of that behavior. So if this is going to be an honest discussion site we need to have honest moderation.
Or, you can simply disallow discussions concerning certain sexual practices and leave it at that. A discussion site that doesn’t allow discussion with opposite views is simply an echo chamber mislabeled as a discussion site.
