Oh, so it's not actually a free speech issue then (by which I mean an individuals right to speak freely)

Rather, you have an issue with the culture and beliefs that some people hold.

I'm puzzled how you propose to change minds on these topics without the use of free speech of all kinds, including, but not limited to the mocking, ridiculing, satirical and trolling kind and the well reasoned, good mannered kind.

Do you really think that telling people they can't talk about it like that because some people might get hurt will actually change the sentiments people hold about out groups they feel threatened by?
