Good Morning,

I’m symphathetic to your view. However, what you have to ask yourself is if the purpose of the speech is subversive in nature? This is not without precedent. Germany is hostile to Scientology because they understand what it means to have organizations infiltrate positions of influence and power, especially secret ones.

I believe that the argument can be made that the gay rights movement is subversive and totalitarian and as such shouldn’t be afforded the typical protections of political speech either in law or as a function of culture.

Contrary opinions are ALWAYS subversive in autocratic states.

There are always exceptions to be found for unpopular speech. The bottom line is that these people engaged in political speech, the state disapproved, the state shut them down. This is prior restraint by an autocratic state.
