We've now reached a point where the slightest disapproval of homosexual behavior is considered by the media (and YouTube is definitely part of the media) to be 'hate speech'. This was the goal of the 'gay' lobby, all along. To make their perverse sexual proclivities sacrosanct to the point of being above criticism. However, should public criticism occur, as in this case, it is quickly silenced and branded 'hate speech', thus discouraging those who disapprove of homosexual behavior from speaking out against it.

The trick was to make those who chose to practice homosexual behaviors a separate class of individuals. e.g. 'gays'. Then, to label them as an 'oppressed minority', thus subtly equating those practicing homosexual behavior with people who are genetically a racial minority and who are given - by liberals and the government - 'oppressed minority' status. That transforms any criticism of homosexual behavior into 'hate speech' because it's being used against, not a behavior, oh no, but a class of people, 'gays'.

This house of cards may be flimsy but, unfortunately, the majority don't see it and go right along with the canard that to criticize homosexual behavior is actually 'hating' and, worse yet, hating a protected minority! Thus, our free speech rights are, once again, truncated and the American people meekly accept it. This way lies slavery.

Right you are: The fact that the Fist Amendment - designed specifically to protect unpopular speech, a MUST in any democracy - is being tossed away and mere opinion flimsily and hastily considered “hate speech”, by YouTube, an internet GIANT, shows we are in the last stages, the virtual death throes. But as I said elsewhere, why did we allow this to happen? 40 years ago, it was only a gleam in a liberal activist’s eye. Who allowed this?
