It's just good old fashioned intolerance. Whereas before it was the likes of Mary Whitehouse, now it's people who identify as liberal but are anything but.

I agree there are consequences but t's all just gone a bit far. The recent case with Durham University and Rod Liddle is a good example, as is 'offence archaeology' when people dig up tweets from ten years ago they deem to be offensive and plaster them all over the internet to shame someone. (if you actually felt them offensive you wouldnt air them)

My suggestion is that if you don't like gay bars, don't go in them. If you don't like swearing, don't watch TV after 9pm. If you don't like some opinions, then leave it to others who do.

Or better still, actually expose yourself to all of the above and rid yourself of your tiresome prejudices.
