True freedom of speech requires protection from all consequences, including social consequences.
The only way to be free is to be an anonymous voice that can speak the sheer, utter truth without fear, or a shaking voice. But that is impossible when people fear judgement from others, be it even the slightest disapproval. No one wants to lose friends or make enemies.
But what if the truth is considered heresy?
Truth is truth good or bad. If you are worried like many people do about making friends and they get made because you spoke a truth, then were they really a friend? Truth should outweigh any religious belief because just because it goes against a belief does not make it any less a truth.
