      We've been talking a lot about what feminism has done to men but not what the SJW movement has done for/to the gay community.

      Here's something I'm both for and against, a man in London being expelled for holding anti-gay views based on religion. Mind you, he's a Christian.

      Being that we all, to some degree or another, benefit from not hearing anti-gay speech (is it hate speech?), is expelling him the right course of action?

      Thoughts?

      Here's the article.

        I read the article, of course what we are missing are the exact things he posted on social media.

        While I agree that everyone has their right to hold their religious views, we actually move in a 'laic' society.  As long as our religion doesn't interfere with others' lives or harms others everything is fine.  But when it does, we have a problem.

        Plus, he wanted to be a social worker…the judge words are spot on: “Public religious speech has to be looked at in a regulated context from the perspective of a public readership. Social workers have considerable power over the lives of vulnerable service users and trust is a precious professional commodity.”

        Would you trust a social worker who downright shows bias?
