"We all have the freedom to call it immoral, we have the freedom to call it a sin."

No we dont, not really.

If I said that at work, I'd get fired for showing 'lack of sensitity to the diverse workforce'.

If a law firm said that and meant it, they'd be banned from recruiting at practically every law school in the country.

When Dr laura said it, she lost a TV contract.

Wake and smell the coffee, Luis. The right to say homosexuality is wrong is a disappearing right in our culture. it is very close to making into law (eg sexual harrassment). Look north to canada where it already is enshrined in law.

And of course, just as many guilty male philanderers are 'pro-choice' on killing the fetus to protect the consequences of their own actions, we have certainly a reaction to the traditionalist in supporting the 'gay lifestyle'. my, if they go after homosexuals they could just go after the heterosexual wild ones. So the cause is buttressed by those sho secretly want moral standards in the culture degraded so they wont feel so bad about their own behavior. Again, that is Moynihans' "Defining deviancy down".

I cant fault the Homosexual lobby at all for taking a narrow and self-interested agenda and spinning into a 'civil rights' cause celebre by anti-moralists across the spectrum. Politically brilliant!

Oh please!

I can show you a hundred thousand posts or more in FR doing just that.

"If I said that at work, I'd get fired..."

Work is not the place for you to do that, but regardless, I've said something akin to that, and I wasn't fired.

What you are arguing about is against the right of OTHERS to freee speech as well, and to boycott those things we oppose.

We do it all the time.

I was and am still angry over the way gay activists intimidated advertisers to keep Dr. Laura off TV...however these things happen in America.

And I don't see how not being able to bust down bedrooms doors and arrest consenting adults for sodomy means nobody is allowed to freely and openly express their personal moral beliefs.
