why? isn't pompous twittery also an inherent trait? If you limit other people's right to say things you don't like, someone else will limit your right to say things they don't like. We all know where that leads. Secondly, why do you limit it to inherent properties, whatever that means? What if being gay turns out not to be an inherent property? Does that suddenly make it ok to insult gay people? I don't think so.
