and previous conversation.
Of course, LGBTQ people are overrepresented as victims of real, not imaginary, violence but does follow that saying, for example, hell awaits them contributes to it? Puts them in danger? Maybe it does, but how do I know? Certainly not because someone says so, makes an argument. Anything negative about LGBTQ people contributes to violence or just some kind of negative? How does this work?

A moral right to express unpopular opinions is not a moral right to express those opinions in a way that silences the voices of others, or puts them in danger of violence.

These are facts – and free-speech-crisis mythology is preventing us from confronting them.
