The first amendment does not cover this situation.
But it should. This idea of hate speech is nothing more than an employment guarantee for sleazy lawyers that was concocted and designed by sleepy lawyers for that purpose.
Well, that sucks.
And why is that? When a group of fags ran into a Catholic mass and started throwing condoms at the parishioners, they defended that as free speech. When Andres Serrano produced a picture of a crucifix in urine, that was defended as free speech. When queers parade down public streets with their butts showing through leather chaps and ass-out jeans, that's defended as free speech.
How is this not free speech?
Why, because someone's feelings were hurt?
Or is it because a new protected class of people?
