Thoughtcrime?
Yes. What is speech but an expression of thought? It is one thing to threaten to harm an individual, it is another matter entirely to criticize a persons behavior. What homophiles want to do is equate criticism with threats. The logic is that if you can control what people say in public, then you can ultimately control what the say in private. Of course, its twisted logic, and the notion of thought crimes may seem ridiculous, but it is the ultimate goal.
