I get tired of hearing how America has to be careful because of the hate speech laws in other countries. There are countries in the world that cut off the hands of thieves. I'm not worried about that happening in the U.S. either. We have a different culture here. Our constitution prevents many of the issues considered as slippery slopes because of the results in other countries.
edited to add: did you miss the part of my post which stated clearly that he should not be stopped from voicing his opinion?

We never thought America would do a lot of things unconstitutionally, we still did them. You should worry about the laws of other countries because they'll be coming soon to a legislature near you.
I know you said he should be able to voice his concerns, and I said you should focus on people's political beliefs instead, since they denote what they want to DO to other people. Chan finds homosexuality to be deviant, but his political agenda is to afford them the same rights as everybody else. This is not a problem, and your attempts to change his way of thinking is unncecessary.
