    Five. Fucking. Years. Ago
    he was fucking 14.

    Seriously every year they should sit all the guys comming in the draft and tell them "go through your whole twitter history and delete all the dumb shit you wrote when you were fucking twelve years old".

    That's ridiculous

    If he was saying that stuff now, as a 19 year old, I might care. As as 8th grader or a 9th grader? Not concerned.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Every generation is generation snowflake. Think of how badly the previous' generation's feelings have been hurt by the idea of gay rights. Trump is the very epitome of a snowflake and not of this generation. Every generation thinks what they care about matters and what the next generation cares about is stupid. The popularization of the term "snowflake" is all that's new.

    As to the original question, I wouldn't say he's a homophobe because he tweeted some homophobic stuff at age 14. It was stupid and immature, but one hopes he's matured since then.

    How many of those generations tried to end free speech and discourse because differing opinions are the same as physical assault? Be specific. I'll wait.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Every generation has had a deep contempt for people saying things they dislike. No generation, including this one, has "tried to end free speech." But it's largely the older generations (and I, myself, am not part of the current generation) who have tried to block things like gay rights despite it not materially damaging them--it's the ultimate in "my feelings would be hurt, so I want legislation against it." (And you can go back further and apply the same to "anti-miscegenation laws.")

    1) you provided no example as requested;
    2) if you believe free speech is not under attack then you are either not paying attention or you are dishonest. See UC Berkeley, Evergreen State College, etc.

    I'd be more concerned with the words of a 50 year old than a 14 year old.

    Because I found your premise invalid. I provided examples of older generations trying to legislate away things that make them "feel bad" (which is supposed to be the snowflake thing).

    Conservatives have insisted that "free speech is under attack" on college campuses since at least the 1960s.
