Do I have to like what someone is saying if I support freedom of expression?

Answer

No! You do not need to like what someone is saying and still support their freedom to say it. There are many ways to demonstrate your disapproval of speech you do not like without taking away a person’s right to speak.

These may include:

  1. Do not listen.
  2. Write an opinion.
  3. Do not contribute to their business.
