Injury thread - someone had to do it

It is not just the right of the person who speaks to be heard. It is the right of everyone in an audience to listen. Every time we silence someone, we make ourselves a prisoner of our own action, in that we deny ourselves the right to hear.

Freedom of speech is meaningless, unless it protects the freedom of the person who thinks differently.

--“Reading a book with LGBTQ/Drag Queen characters will not change one’s sexuality/gender, anymore then reading a book about Einstein will make one a genius. If you are afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, then you are not afraid of books, but instead, you are afraid of thinking.”
