OK, let's try this again. Maybe I used too many big words. Regarding this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnqEm7aXbrSsv0WORnJAxCbsy6IX?qid=20070608091303AAIKYxi
Let's forget everything I said before, and start over. Liberals, why is
1. One city employee allowed to advertise a "coming out day"
2. Another city employee in the same office NOT allowed to advertise a "Natural Family Employee association"?
If city employees are not allowed to express opinions during work, FINE, but NEITHER should be allowed, not just one.
So why do Liberals find this so hard to understand? THe ACLU thinks NAMBLA is worth representing, but someone who uses "hate speech" is not allowed their opinions?
Well, let's start calling NAMBLA "hate speech", and the 9th Circuit court will get rid of them ASAP.
So PLEASE libs, answer the question. Why the double standard?

Marriage and personal life should be left OUT of the office...completely!
You go to work to well.....WORK!
It's not a social gathering....it's a JOB...you get paid for it...and it's all for the greater good of the OWNERS of said company.
If you work for the government....well....it's still not a social gathering and for the greater good of the city/state/nation.
DO YOUR JOB....after hours...do what you want!

My, my aren't we testy today. I am on this board alot and I have NEVER seen this question before. Maybe others haven't either and that is why it is not answered. If you don't like the answers you DO get that is too bad. Maybe if you ask a fair and decent question you will get a fair and decent answer.
No city employee or any employee while at work unless they are hired to do so should be advertising nor discussing any particular philosophy or advocating any socal organization's agenda such as the coming out day you mention or anything by the Natural Family Employee Association. I have not heard of either, by the way. I doubt they exist, but will give you benefit of the doubt for now.
I don't believe liberals find that hard to understand at all. The ones, from my experience, that are the most hard headed seem to be on the radical fringes of both sides but particularly the far right. As for ACLU, they represent all sorts of groups including some that are quite conservative. I am not familiar with NAMBLA but from what I understand they are sickos. Hate speech is just that. While we have freedom of speech it doesn't mean one should have the right to filth or hate spewing out of their mouths or on a page. One expressing an opinion can do so in a professional manner with citations and empirical data if they wish to be believed otherwise it is just someone's opinion.
From the tone of your post you are one hate filled individual. Consider getting help.

OK, a little vague i would say.
First let me ask, What city and what position is this city person in? That really doesn't matter, I'm just curious. And what do you mean by ADVERTISE?
Did this person take out an ad in a paper or buy a radio spot?
And this Coming Out Day, Does this mean he or she is coming out that he or she is Gay?
And this other person, what is the "Natural Family Employee association"?
And as far as the ACLU goes , I do not know if they represent the NAMBLA group. But I do know that any member of Nambla needs to be under 24 hour surveillance to protect our children!!
As soon as you give more info on your questions maybe i can answer them.

Hey, I'm a liberal, sort of, or at least I believe that republicans would call me one. What the heck do any of these city employees think they're doing advertising anything unrelated to the city's business while working on the taxpayer's dime?

I don't think it is a double standard. There was no hate speech involved with the 'coming out'. But there was hate speech involved in the 'Natural Family Association'. They advocate banning gays from having families and adopting children. Perhaps if they just advocate family values without al the gay bashing, they wouldn't be considered hate speech.
The governement shouldn't allow hate speech from its employees. It's simple.
The ACLU defends everybody, I don't know why conservatives are so against them.

I suppose that you could make the argument that one is an advert for a personal event, while the other is an attempt at organizing with a political agenda.

I think the lemming Republicans or quite a few of the Republicans should get their heads surgically removed from their a'sses as they lack oxygen and therefore have never been able to think rationally or even to think at all.

They will deflect, they will defend the position because someone else did it, but they will not give you a clean answer.
I figure the truth is just not in them.
and I am referring to todays liberals, unlike myself who is a true liberal.

This is a moral question. And why liberals have to explain something to the conservative crowd who claims to have the monopoly on morality is beyond me.
See if you can keep up with this:
The status quo are not discriminated against. The status quo are not treated as inferior. The status quo do not need any help trying to bring understanding to their cause because everyone already accepts them.
This is why certain things like "Coming Out Day" are allowed while "National Everyone Accepts Me Already Day" isn't given preferential treatment.
I tried to type as slowly as I could.

I agree with you that neither is appopriate fior the work place. You would have to talk to the people that run the company to find out why they found one to be objectionable and not the other.
