| Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon.

Re: As the Constitution crumbles?
Judging by some of the language and links on that page, I wouldn't exactly trust its neutraliltiy on the issue, nor it's cut down version of the Bill.
The full version is here.
If you find the section 24-34-701. "Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden", which is the one partially quoted in your source, you will find that it relates to printed material which enocurages the prohibition of services to people based on their sexual preferences. As far as I'm aware, nowhere in the Bible does it say "Thou shalt not let a homosexual on a bus."

Re: As the Constitution crumbles?
I'm torn on this one. I'm radically against anything that limits free speech, but I'm totally in favor of anything that takes power away from the right-wing Christian nutjobs.

Free speech isn't quoting some bullshit out of a 2000-year old book imo.

So, in other words, you don't really believe in free speech.  You just agree with someone's "right" to say the things you agree with.

If I'm not wrong, its older than 2000
And its freedom of religion, which is in the same basket as free speech.

This is why the far left is just as bad as the far right.
But that source the op's link links to, wnd, is a right wing nutjob source known for posting bullshit, such as a claim that soy turns you gay.

I think some of you missed th point here, so I'll reiterate:

Free speech is irrelevant here, this isn't affecting texts (like the Bible) which say " Homosexuality is bad" (<---Mr. Mackey voice essential), it prohibits the distribution of texts which say "Homosexuality is bad. If a homesexual ever tries to get a job at your company, or buy your house, or get a lift in your taxi, then you should show them the door."
Which do you think is is more unconstitutional, prohibiting pople from distributing this kind of text, or people being denied services because of their sexual preference? |

I'm not for censorship, but it's ABOUT FUCKING TIME people turned their sights on the bible and it's splendor of lies.
