....to CL, there is certainly no explicit incitement to violence in the writing. i gladly concede that point. However, the implicit stuff is very, very close to the line. Check out the martial language, the paranoia, the absurd linking of homosexuality with the repulsive NAMBLA. The courts sentence is clearly an over-reaction. My own thoughts are that he has come this close to a hate crime, but hasn't quite crossed the line. However, should anyone use his words as a justification for gay-bashing (and it's easy to see how a weak mind would), i'd expect him to condemn such an act explicitly. To not do so would merely confirm him as one of those dangerous bigots. Clever enough to stay just this side of the law.
It is definitely more than mere Bible-centered moralizing, that is certain. And if any part of it were used to sanction violence against homosexuals, I certainly hope he would condemn such rationalizations.
However, I would hope that such speech would never be censured, but would rather be shown in the full light of day, and opposed in that same light. False ideas cannot stand against vigorous debate.
