That’s the whole point. Somebody has to decide what is allowed and what isn’t. Takes a dumbo not to understand the implications of this.

We already do. Racial Equality Act, Sex Equality Act - all rooted in the idea that people are treated equally and fairly and are not subjected to offensive abuse/behaviour based on sex or race.
For society to function some speech and behaviour is policed. The question is more where the line is drawn.

It's following the same path. Moving from taboo/illegal to a medical condition, then a lifestyle choice and ultimately social acceptability.Interesting. Wasn't the same said about homosexuals a generation ago?
Paedophilia is now edging towards the same route. Personally I'm hoping bestiality is next.
Hardly the same as the proposal for ALL speech to be stamped “approved truth” or not. Read the OP.We already do. Racial Equality Act, Sex Equality Act - all rooted in the idea that people are treated equally and fairly and are not subjected to offensive abuse/behaviour based on sex or race.

Currently, speech is not policed even in the examples you give, which require a complaint to be made. Even then, a decision on prosecution is required.

I'm not arguing that "all" speech need to be stamped "approved truth." Read the OP.Hardly the same as the proposal for ALL speech to be stamped “approved truth” or not. Read the OP.

I can’t see any definition of what needs the stamp and what doesn’t nor who decides this.I'm not arguing that "all" speech need to be stamped "approved truth." Read the OP.

Oh so homosexuality wasn't on the DSM and we never had Section 28 in the UK.
Don’t put words in my mouth. It was NOT commonly said that gay people were mentally ill. I go back to 1950s campaigns.Oh so homosexuality wasn't on the DSM and we never had Section 28 in the UK.
