...but but but...WHO ENFORCES pc? I mean, it's not like there's an arm of law enforcement going around taking names and writing out on the spot fines, is there?

So I Googled and found this:

California's governor recently signed a bill that made hate speech criminal. SB 1234 makes it a punishable offense to "intimidate" or "oppress" another person because of their ethnicity, sex, race, national origin, or sexual orientation. The California and Pennsylvania laws are similar to ones in Europe and Canada where people have been fined and sentenced to jail for preaching or writing that homosexuality is a sin.

Unbelievable! Your OPINION can land you in jail if you live in California or Pennsylvania?

In fact, your thoughts can get you a longer sentence, once the court gets done with you.
