I completely agree. When I first heard about the changes, I honestly thought "I may not totally agree, but it sounds reasonable." But then I read the actual content rules, and I was completely gobsmacked. As you put it, it essentially forbids hate speech but explicitly and specifically has a carve out for gay and transgender people - the exact language is

> Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation

I.e. saying "Mormon people are totally insane" is forbidden speech, but saying "Gays are totally insane" is now legit.

On the upside, it convinced me to finally delete my FB account.
