    Saying that I dont trust a homophobe is not “sharing my political opinions”

    That’s true.

    However, you did not just say that. You mentioned how he supports some homophobic politics (ie. regulation against gay marriage), which you (and I’m sure a lot of people, me included) disagree with. That’s politics.

    You also shared your opinion about why you think privacy is important for our society. That’s also politics.

    I’m not saying that what you said is wrong… I’m saying that what you said is political. Sharing political opinions is ok. It’s not like talking about politics is somehow a bad thing. At least not in this context. A lot of what surrounds the choice of a web browser like this is political.
