I’m not seeing proposals to change the constitution to outlaw it. Condemning hatred against LGBT is free speech. Rep Gomez has every right to say what he did."Hate speech" is protected speech under the Constitution. The first amendment right of free speech applies even to those words people may find repugnant, distasteful and hateful. It is troubling that the left wants to banish words that it does not like. That works both ways, which is why the first amendment exists.
He can say whatever he wants but it's very clear that he would use his power as a legislator to bar so-called hate speech. He clearly does not believe such speech is protected by the Constitution. However, Supreme Court precedent dating back to at least the 1950's says otherwise.I’m not seeing proposals to change the constitution to outlaw it. Condemning hatred against LGBT is free speech.

Is it? I suppose it's clear that conservatives attack on gay marriage means that they want to outlaw it. So perhaps it's natural to conclude that liberals condemnation of anti-gay speech means they want to outlaw it. But I don't think there's much support for that.He can say whatever he wants but it's very clear that he would use his power as a legislator to bar so-called hate speech.

Go to a government university some time and take a look at the words and viewpoints that are essentially banned on campus. Argue for traditional marriage and expect to banished by a university kangaroo court.Is it? I suppose it's clear that conservatives attack on gay marriage means that they want to outlaw it.

Anything I disagree with? (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek)Serious question to anyone who has an answer. How do you define "hate speech"?
Criticism of gays can be done in a hateful way.“Homophobic rhetoric isn’t a matter of free speech. It’s a matter of hate speech,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., said on Twitter Friday. “These are stunning, harmful words from Justice Alito.”
What makes you think we aren't calling those things out? When was the last time someone tried to order an adultery cake, then sue the baker for not making it? When did we ever condone lewd behavior? Why do you insult us by suggesting that we accept blatant racism?So why is it always homosexuality that gets called out? What about adultery and all lewd behavior? What about lies, misrepresentations and slander? What about mistreatment of strangers, the poor and the vulnerable.? What about blatant racism? Hate speech extends to all forms of dehumanization and exploitation.
. So I get a no true Scotsman argument when I tell you my church doesn’t accept a dogma that yours does . Whatever!
Hate speech is any kind of communication in speech, writing or behavior, that attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, color, descent, gender or other identity factor. This is often rooted in, and generates intolerance and hatred and, in certain contexts, can be demeaning and divisive.

yep , no true ScotsmanYou might be a true Scotsman, but if your church accepts homosexuality, then it accepts an un-Christian doctrine. Talk to the hand!
The right to free speech does not mean the right to have people accept what you're saying, or refrain from demonstrating. Throwing a hissy fit is constitutionally protected, although violence is not.College campuses are the perfect example of that, having hissy fits and violent protests when a conservative speaker is invited, such as Ben Shapiro.

No, this would still be freedom. It is a freedom you find unpalatable. However, a fundamental component of freedom is to do and say that which others disapprove.
your freedom ends where others begin. You can say what you want and think what you want, but when yous start to take freedoms away it's a issue.
You missed His entire message.And He called the priests "You snakes, you nest of vipers....."(among other things) which was quite the insult.....so I guess Jesus was just practicing up on his 'hate speech'?..... or was He just calling a spade a spade?
And you just changed the Gospel.This is often quoted in debates such as this one but there isn’t an explicit contradiction between what you’ve said and a Christian baker refusing to make a wedding cake for a same sex marriage.
To get to the contradiction you seek requires some unstated assumptions. One such assumption is love would require a christian to engage in some conduct in relation to some event, external event/conduct, or external thing, that the Christian perceives their conduct as endorsing, approving, or condoning what they believe to be sinful in regards to the external thing or some external conduct/event.
Love does not reach to those depths. Jesus’ love did not lead to any action on his behalf of condoning, endorsing, or approving sinful conduct.
The people who did the wedding cake thing went around to very many different bakeries until they finally found someone that wouldn't do it for them. they're purposely looking to stir up trouble and to show how everything is just horrible. They're painting a false picture of our country.
