The discussion that has been going on in net.singles is quite aggressive in that some people have expressed some very strong homophobic points of view. While it is their right since freedom of speech seems to be widely accepted on this net, their right would definitely get in the way of gay people's right to their own space if this conversation ever was to move to net.motss.
