Homophobic Tweet Lands Vodafone Rep on 'Indefinite' Suspension

For Biggot

Homophobics are afraid that if they sanction gays, the world will become gay.
Faggots, queers, whatever term you want to call them is your choice, I suppose, but what sympathetic straight people, and gay people want homophobics to know is that if they teach our children, die in our wars, buy our goods, are upstanding citizens, they should have the same protection others have. Previously, they were tormented, even killed. People try and "convert" them to be straight. It is a homosexual's choice, it may even be their physiological make-up, to be gay. They may appear cowardly because to announce you are gay is difficult at best and might be lethal at worst. They don't go overboard, they simply want what is rightfully theirs: their place as useful citizens and the protection that we all have. Now, that isn't asking for much, is it? Call them names, it just shows intolerance and ignorance. But, don't blame them because people are homophobic.

Man, you're nuts!

Freedom of speech? What kind of animal is that?

This name calling of the gay's I just don't understand. I am a Christian and I say who cares what you are. It is not up to any of us to judge you or even care about what you do as long as it is not affecting others in any way. It is up to God to judge not people. And the only difference between gay people is the way they have sex. If they didn't tell you they were gay you would not know. We all have our own quirks, mannerisms, and view on life. But the true difference is the way we have sex. Don't flaunt that to me and I won't flaunt my sex acts to you. That is MY view. No one deserves special rights because of the way they have sex. That is a private thing. Sex should stay at home and not at work. The government should stay out of it unless a crime against either of us is committed. Then the law steps in. We are becoming a world that doesn't know how to take care of itself any more because we always have our hands out for the "give me's". And soon none of us will be able to even think for our selves much less fend for our- selves. There will always be some kind of hate in this world because people seem to find it. People are the worst animal. They will find something or some one to hate just because of the "worse than animalistic" nature of us. Who knows why. If it isn't the gays it is the color of skin or religion, or side of town you grew up on or just about anything one can think up to hate. A following will be.You can be a turd and follow that hate or you can be decent and teach your family to embrace others to make a better world.

"...'homo's'..." wasn't a possessive. He was using the apostrophe as a substitution for "sexual" in homosexual.

Please explain why, if someone does not like "gayness," that person is considered to be a "homophobe" or a "closet homosexual?" If a person doesn't like dog fights, does that mean they secretly want to kill dogs? If a person doesn't like fish, that they secretly want to be a fish? Some guys don't like blondes, does that mean they secretly want to be a blonde woman? Some women don't like bald men. Does that mean they secretly want to be a bald man? Just because a person raises an objection does not mean that they are hiding anything. In fact, it's just the opposite.

I stand with # 11 and #16. the other comments are just a waste of space.

We have the right of free speech in this country, and that right comes with responsibility. One must defend the right of all speech, even speech so vile, so politically incorrect you would oppose it at the top of your lungs and for the rest of your life!
PC speech is an abomination of our rights, not enlightened, not progressive, and certainly not liberal.
Some in this country want to control the debate, even to the point of making this nonsense and issue. The real issue here is the suspension of speech, and the ill informed that so whole heartedly support it.
