Much better than the usual "People suck and I wont say who" whine from this source.
Disagree with RMS as much as you like on this question. Expect difficulties because the previous people calling him out for his positions on non-software ideas, in technical forums, have often been grabbing any straw they thought they could throw to discredit RMS's stance on intellectual property.
I disagree with Drew here; I think we can say that RMS is worth listening to when he speaks about software and the importance of a free flow of information; and that we can even revere his stance on that while at the same time disagreeing with him on any number of other subjects. Morality, economics, all sorts of things.
If the FSF had a mission to address sexuality or morality; then one would hope its leadership had views aligned with those goals. That aint what the FSF is for. They don't need to preach morality.
