That's nice, but much as the Wash Times would like to spin it so, I don't see how this law could ever be applied to church sermons. It doesn't curtail free speech, at all. It only addresses crimes. Sorry, nervous nelly.

"Those especially at risk are conservative religious people who may very well find themselves hauled into court unless they keep their mouths shut for being politically incorrect," said Laurel Lynn Petolicchio, a constitutional activist from Columbia, Pa.

And any judge with half a brain would rightly haul the plantiffs' asses out of court.

"Not only are you not allowed to speak it, you're now not allowed to think it, and that's dangerous," said the Rev. Frederick Bieber of the Hanoverdale Church of the Brethren near Hummelstown, Pa.

Please join the rest of us "thinking" persons, Reverend.

And yes, it's worse to assault someone because of their race or religion or sexuality (as has recently happened in LA and San Diego when gay men were leaving bars) than it is to assault someone in a bar because they were hitting on your woman.

Too bad the unthinking Reverend is correct. In Canada for example, which is way 'ahead' of us in the area of hate-crimes, hate speech such as the Dr. Laura Show is banned. If that is not an assult on free speech, I don't know what is.

Where are the voices of that activist organization Human “Rights” Watch now? They’re the ones who came up with and forced on everyone else that precious Coming Out Day. Well, Szabo came out as well, and he got canned for it, and here on this board we have an Apologist for something truly Evil. HomoFascists don’t keep the principles of free speech and freedom of association in mind for America. And they’re in our schools, thanks to GLSEN and the idiots who enable them.

Our ancestors knew hundreds and hundreds of years ago the dangers the homosexuals pose to the rest of us. They tried to warn us that homosexuals don’t want to be left alone, that they’re predators posing as prey, and they’ll forever be at our doors if we don’t stop them.

I still haven’t gotten an answer from every Enabler I’ve encountered-why do homosexuals need the approbation of children? Why are they brainwashing our kids in schools, who haven‘t even reached puberty yet? Aren’t homosexuals comfortable in their own person? What do they need with CHILDREN? Andwhy did they go after the BOY scouts instead of the Hell's Angels? The LPGA? Aunt Martha's Sewing Circle?

Oh, and you've conveniently ignored Jesse Dirkhising. But what are we to expect from an intellectual titan who thinks homosexuals who wear Nazi clothes need special dispensation?

Any of that violence you whine about gay on gay? Please, give it that Washington Times style spin....)

Hard to fathom your last statement, Caped Crusader. How is any assault better or worse than any other assault, based on anything except the degree of damage inflicted, or the sole mitigating factor of self-defense?
