The dialogue astonished me, so I wrote an article I called Conversations with a Homophobe. I used it as a platform to call on Roman Catholic leaders to end their bald hate speech toward LGBTQ people.

I noted that it’s plainly wrong to characterize people as depraved and evil simply because they’re members of a minority.

I noted that religion must not be an excuse for that kind of plain hate speech, and that if speech of that nature were to come from anyone other than religious authority that it would almost certainly violate the community standards of media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. I gave examples of the harm done to innocent people because of Catholic hate speech. I ended with an appeal for readers to join me in outrage and to demand that Catholics stop the hate.

I never expected what happened next —
First, I’d like to thank the Medium editorial team for curating and promoting that story. It’s had a pretty healthy readership on Medium for the past couple days, and reader interest remains high.

Sadly, outside of Medium, I’ve been hamstrung. The bulk of my readership often comes from Twitter and Facebook, and I’ve been unable to promote Conversations with a Homophobe on those platforms. Facebook stealthily deleted my story announcements. They show in my timeline for me, but nobody else can see them.

I only found out I’d been censored because I thought it odd that none of my usual readers were reacting to the story. Then I realized reaction on Twitter was also all but non-existent. It turns out that my call for ending hate speech was deemed “sensitive content,” and that its distribution had been suppressed.

Given all it took for Alex Jones to be dealt with by Twitter this strikes me as ridiculous.
