Bullying gay scolds & the 1st Amendment

(having been to Leather Day or whatever in the Tenderloin, it's rather shocking to discover 20-sometging years later that there are so many rules. As Butch said (finally when prodded) "there are no rules". Sad they didn't listen to him - was much more fun and fantasizing.)

Gays have always been the creators, not the censors; we defend the outrageous, and revel in shock. We have never been the puritans, or the humorless, or among those who want to shut down any free expression in order to “prevent harm.” https://t.co/LzmoSbJGww

In reply to Naming your source makes it

I'm pointing out the complexities of some opinion. Some people are all for your favorite position A but against your other favorite position B. Are they allies? enemies? to be ignored? pushed to one camp or the other anyway?

Naming your source makes it

In reply to So telling ppl they don't

Naming your source makes it easier to track him down. Since you don't agree with him, why does it matter if I don't agree with him?

So telling ppl they don't need masks cuz there's a shortage - is that ethical?

Why do I need to name my source? You don't believe me? There's something in his argument that'll change your mind? Or you'll pick holes in his argument? I don't even agree with him, but it is what it is - people can hold complex opinions, even though many run with a highly predictable set. I pointed out the unusual germane fact - he develops vaccines himself, but for several reasons disagrees with mandates. I'm sure he's not the only one - belief in personal freedoms is a strong urge, whatever the science.

PS - you won't find him on Fox or in the US, so maybe Google won't help

In reply to Is acting stupid your safety

At the time, the concern was that masks were scare and that medical personnel needed the masks.

You said that you knew a guy, now you want me to enter "vaccine developer guy against mandates" into Google?

Why not simply name your source?

Is acting stupid your safety

Is acting stupid your safety defense?

I didn't say i follow the advice of this guy, anonymous or not - i was pointing out intelligent people involved in the heavy lifting of the pandemic can have different opinions.

And the guy isn't anonymous - you just have to Google - ain't that tough.

BTW, wasn't Fauci parroting "no masks needed" back in March 2020?

Wow

Wow

You know a guy.

Strong statement

Edit to add:

I'll take the advice of named public health officials over your anonymous developer guy.

You gave an abuser of women

In reply to Huh?

You gave an abuser of women as a character witness for a guy who has argued that the Earth is flat.
