What is the purpose of screening letters to silence certain points of view:
Try reading whodey's post.
IF a newspaper acts in a way people don't like, they can stop buying the newspaper. It's not like these days there are insufficient ways to make your opinion known otherwise.

You believe in this golden rule:
The people with the gold get to make the rules.

We all know there is Progressive truth and regressive lies. Only through the Crusaders of Progressive truthiness can we slay the evil Tea Party conservatives.

This is why I support the right of gay people to have sex without going to jail. Their behavior is immoral and wrong, but they should be free to live as they see fit. If they want to claim that homosexuality is not immoral they should have the right to free speech.
Originally posted by EladarLuckily, the newspaper has freedom of speech and is not bound by your opinion. The newspaper can voice whatever opinions it want's to voice. If it was a publicly owned newspaper, then you might have a say it what it publishes.
It seems to me that the paper should voice all opinions when it comes to political issues.
Does everyone here who claims the newspaper should publish all opinions equally feel that a Church newspaper must publish all articles it receives even those from other faiths or atheists that are critical of the Church in question?

Repeat what you are being told to repeat. Do it again! There you go, good puppet. Good puppet.
At least I hope you are a puppet and not a person who actually sees the evil and wants it anyhow. That would make you evil. I don't want to believe you are evil, just a duped puppet.

You want to voice your opinion on same sex marriage? Only if it is the correct opinion.
Originally posted by Eladaralso, freedom of speech doesn't mean you can force a paper to publish your opinions.

Why does this believe have to be a "phobe"?
Anyone who uses the term homophobe is by definition of bully. It is attempt to belittle and put down to shut the other person down. Liberals who use the term are a pathetic bunch.

depends on how it is used.
"It is attempt to belittle and put down to shut the other person down"
you are right on this one. It IS an attempt to belittle a homophobe. To give him/her a clear message that his/her behaviour is nauseating and will not be tolerated.
i am calling you a homophobe and i mean it. it is your right of course to be one, just as it is your right to be racist, sexist, anti-semite and so on. you just have to understand that there are consequences for revealing yourself to be one, and that polite society will demand you restrain any behaviour that is considered unacceptable
