The official stance will be released shortly as it is still being tweaked. In the context of this conversation, attacking Christians as a group is prohibited and attacking Homosexuals as a group is prohibited.

Personal, regular-member, unsolicited opinion: Very bad idea!

Except only one of those groups is a choice.

This is a debatable opinion and not one I am going to engage. I would do it poor service were I to try. Suffice it to say, allowing attacks on any group, (regardless of believed choice or inherent to birth and culture) does not serve the purpose of WrongPlanet. First and foremost this is a support site for Autistic individuals and those who love them. The political debate comes a distant second to that. On a support site, nobody should be attacking anybody and the Mods will do their best to ensure that.

What I keep hearing is that only one side of any debate upon the topic of homosexuality is allowed to provide their perspectives, at least from the former moderators DW and Lee it sounds like that. What is the official stance?

That's fine, and what of Christianity as a religion and homosexuality as a whatever-the-heck-jargon?

True...not many people can be broken out of habits and mythology introduced at early age without it being stated as false by those same authories (like Santa) so religion to many people may be as much of a choice as homosexuality for many.

Also: I think something that might throw a wrench into people's conceptions about homosexuality are bisexuals who can pretty much go for whatever they want. That'd most certainly confuse people since most have trouble seeing beyond basic dualities.

Should accusations be left unanswered?

You know, I'm kinda getting tired of alliterations from the Bible being used as a pacifier.

I cannot find the post where you had first asked, "And now, from moderators, a call to unilateral censorship? Oy veh."

I have been repeatedly accused of attacking homosexuality, within the base of this thread even, so I want to know if the definitions being written will proclaim me as guilty by definition of an offense against the terms of service of this site.

It was at the end of one of my replies, that snippet is just one which was abstracted. I think it was on page 5 or 6 or something of the sort.
