lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, like the other MEPs, I have been inundated with e-mails claiming that this report represents an attack on the freedom of speech because it condemns homophobia. This is deeply ironic, because in Ireland at the moment you have a real attack on the freedom of speech. The national broadcaster RTE has censored Rory O’Neill for calling out homophobia. Even worse than that, it has reportedly paid out EUR 85 000 in damages to those accused of homophobia. It is an attack by the right-wing conservative forces in Ireland, acceded to by RTE, and designed to censor debate in advance of a likely referendum on marriage equality. We must refuse to be silenced. When John Waters says that gay marriage is a kind of satire, that is homophobia. When Breda O’Brien says that equality must take second place to the common good, that is homophobia. When the Iona Institute campaigns against gay marriage because it is ‘gay’ marriage, that is homophobia. In the words of Rory O’Neill, these people should get the hell out of our lives."@en1
