But if you want to ban speech that you think "does not contribute to the general welfare of society," you have no basis to complain if a majority of the legislature decides that Christianity and conservatism "don't contribute to the general welfare of society." In your view then, the Serbians did the wrong thing. And you would not want homo rallies banned in America.

I agree with him. Free speech is absolute. Nothing to do with gay rights, I just do not think government should have the power to ban a demonstration or any other form of free speech. A government that has that power can easily turn it around against Christians.

No, I would not want them banned. Otherwise, what argument could I make if the government wanted to ban my religion (Judaism)? If freedom of speech and religion are subject to majority vote, can I always count on being in the majority?
