It's appalling that some believe famous people shouldn't have a voice...well, a conservative one. We know there's a massive double standard at play here. Even some gays acknowledge that.
It's rapidly coming to a point where there will be no free speech, and where simply stating one's personal or especially Christian beliefs will get you fined, fired, forced to be brainwashed or worse.
But I should just get over it...

I think that's the fear talking.
Let me ask you this. There are some fundamentalist Christians that feel that a woman's place is in the home, and not working in corporate america. Do you think that such a one should have the "freedom of speech" to go around telling their female coworkers that they should be home cooking for their husband and having babies the way God intended?
My answers is that they should not. There is a line where freedom of speech becomes harassment.
I don't understand what it is about this one action that makes christians so angry and afraid of gay people. I don't see you all running around all the time freaking out over all he premarital sex going on in the world. Oh no, I work with a guy who's shacking up with his girlfriend. I better tell everyone who will listen how depraved and licentious I think he is! And I better not ever be nice or talk to him, or people might think I approve, or even worse that I might shack up with someone!
I mean, so you think homosexuality is a sin. So what? The world is filled with sinners, and it shouldn't come as a big shock that sinner's sin. Why does that make you so afraid?
I don't remember anywhere in the Bible (but granted, I'm rusty) where God commands us to demand that we MAKE unregenerated unbelievers live according to a certain moral code.
(For the record, I am pro-equality, and do not have a moral problem with same-sex monogamous relationships)
