I mean, I do know that I most definitely said he had a right to express his feelings against homosexuality, even if I vehemently disagreed with him on all points (especially his ideas regarding the so-called "gay lifestyle"), but I have a very hard time imagining that I ever told you (or anyone else) not to speak out about it, in turn.
The only thing I can think of that may have caused you to have that interpretation of what I meant, is that I know I did caution you and others to be careful not to sink to behaviour beneath yourselves when dealing with certain people.
It was a volatile situation, and I like to see people who are on "my side" (so to speak) not sinking to the childish levels of others.
I honestly apologize if I inadvertantly gave the wrong impression... it sure wasn't what I intented.

Oh, I don't think I could ever manage to sink to
This Level. 
Actually, when it comes to that little history, I'm not ashamed at all, whatever you're insinuating here. All I did was stand up for my rights and let know I don't find homophobia acceptable.
Fine, that's what you're doing too, now.
