Quote: exiledrhino "I think SL is tolerant enough to not worry too much about Folau's views.
Keegan Hirst/Gareth Thomas both received a good platform to share their life experience's and received overwhelmingly positive reactions (bar maybe a few twitter trolls).
For them to look to exclude someone in the name of tolerance just seems a bit more than ironic to me. It will also more isolate conservative religious people of which there are many in SL and the NRL because of south sea island representation, more than Folau could isolate gay people IMO. There has been a rift in Australian RU just because of this.'"

And let’s get this difference right between what is his ‘opinion’ and where that has become hate speech.
