> Obviously we can find examples of members of the GOP that are against gay marriage

The party platform is the official stance of the Republican party and it is against same sex marriage. It won't change until 2024. Republicans who support it are extreme outliers, not the other way around.

> I’m pretty sure mainstream republicans are pretty onboard with accepting homosexuality

Less than half of Republicans support same sex marriage.

If I was in a same sex marriage I would feel very, very uncomfortable working at a company that "bans politics" when a large number of my peers thinks my spouse is "unnatural".

I'm going to cherry pick your slippery slope argument:

> Should certain speech mean imprisonment?

Yes. Credible death or terroristic threats in 1st world countries can mean you can go to jail. Society has decided that people don't have the "natural rights" to threaten to murder other people.

What sites do you visit that you regularly see "f--" and the n word?

Yes it is, I and almost certainly a large amount of people just blip right over whataboutism posts. Everyone is fed up with this style of deflection. Its just.. old. The discussion is about Parler, if you can't talk about it without the constant barrage of "well what about what Twitter does??" then maybe don't hit reply at all.

If not, what do you think would have happened?

"At first they came for the people that wanted everyone to have health care, then they came for the people who wanted LGBT people to be treated fairly"...
