In 1977, the American National Socialist (The American Nazi Party) wanted to march on Skokie, IL because it had a large Jewish population and 1 of 6 Jewish citizens survived the german death camps.
The ACLU, a very liberal group, fought and secured the right of the socialist to march on this town, defending their actions as defending freedom for speech we hate.
Clearly there can be no greater example of hate speech by any group.
Why should their be limits on the freedom to speak? Hurting someone's feelings cannot be a crime. How would anyone even be able to define what criminal "Hate Speech" even is?
Isn't the notion of "Hate Speech" just an absurd idea?

Except for "feelings" words cannot cause harm to another person.
Causing harm to someone is called 'Assult' and that is a crime.
It's sad to see how many people actualy believe rights should be limited by the gvmt.

regularguynlr - I sympathize for you, I can't think of one reason gvmt regulates marriage. However gvmt does treat people differently. People who earn more pay higher taxes, we don't pay equal taxes for example,
We both can get married, we both have the same restrictions as well. So it can be said that we are equal.
