Title: Let the "Sexual Orientation Hate" Bill Pass and Invite Your Own Oppression

Since genuine intimidation and violence is already covered by the existing legal code, the ultimate purpose of such a bill can only be to intimidate those who speak out against the endorsement of homosexual practice and transsexualism. In the current political climate-obvious cases in point are repeated oppressions of any who dare speak against homosexual practice in Canada, England, and Scandinavia, to say nothing of sectors of the United States-one cannot assume that there is a common definition of what constitutes hate against homosexual and transsexual persons. Any public words against homosexual practice will be treated legally as words that incite others to violence and/or discrimination against homosexual persons, and thus subject to criminal prosecution.

Well practise, makes perfect.  :P

Yeah, well the slave owners hated emancipation too, but they had to get over it.

I've really gotta get off of this planet.

Maybe we should pass laws protecting hate so that haters won't feel hated.

I suppose if everyone were treated equally under the law, if there were no discrimination, if there were fewer murders, and fewer assaults against us, we wouldn't be seeing these kinds of laws proposed.

They just don't get it.

By the way... what in the world is the "GLBT agenda"?  I've never seen it!

Same as the homosexual agenda (a link to it was posted in another thread,) as they're all homos anyway...

I called my congresswoman's local office today and registered my wish that she vote for the hate crimes bill at tomorrow's floor vote.
