What's the difference between a gay man standing up and yelling at a conservative Christian speaker and a conservative Christian standing up and yelling at a gay speaker? Both say that their speech should not be censored -- some even say that there should be no censorship at all -- and yet these two people will go to each other's meetings, interrupt them, maybe even picket and protest them, and try to keep each speaker from sharing their beliefs. Isn't this hypocrisy? If it is, then isn't it also hypocritical to write laws so that your group can speak freely but others cannot?
