Nonetheless, this is all ridiculous and worrying, as it is in cases when causes each of you cares for are also offended. Supporting someones right to cause offence at a funeral does also mean the right to cause offence at any funeral.
The right to boo also means the right to boo (for example) taking the knee or any other minutes silence.
The example here is of course absurd (which makes me think there is more to it) but don't pretend there are no tricky grey areas here..
More widely, standing up for free speech is really important and hopefully more people will do it and try to prevent anything taking place merely because it offends some people.
