Why should only the hateful be allowed to speak their minds freely?

Who are the hateful? Because I see much more venom and lots of insults aimed at people of faith in this country.
I have lots of gay friends, I don't know any of them who suffer being gay. Them embrace their lives, they have good careers, they're happy in their personal life... I never hear any of them moaning about homophobia, but I do hear them celebrating the fact that they can now marry in this country. I've been "best woman" at a gay wedding, it was the most joyful thing ever. Things are changing here... I'd rather be celebrating that.
