I see your point, Adey. But in your example are you talking about things that certain people find offensive, yet legal?
For instance conservative people in the US may not like a gay rights march, but there isn't much they can do about it since such activities are protected by law.
The Tribeca situation is a bit more complex, in that the government here bans certain movies from being shown for 51 weeks of the year, and then actively encourages them to be shown on the other week. Why the double standard? Either movies of this nature are allowed all the time, or never. Why bend the rules, and then boast about having done so as evidence of being openminded and modern and progressive and forward thinking, when in fact you aren't?
