Trial lawyers could go after those who advocate deadly behavior, couldn’t they?
This article is thought provoking.
Hopefully not. You're allowed to "advocate" anything you want except overthrow of the government. Merely advocating a dangerous activity is, and should be, protected speech, subject of course to the usual limits (yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, libel/slander, etc.).
Selling a product that enables a dangerous activity (e.g. cigarettes) can get you in trouble in some cases. So maybe these folks can go after the manufacturers of gay paraphernalia. But that's not going to be very effective, and it invites the Nanny State mentality.
Worse, the same argument could be used about fireworks, liquor, guns, and a host of other items that can result in death, which we would rather not have banned by the Nanny State.
I sense a slippery slope.
On what theory? Cigarettes were actionable because of products liability. Sexuality is not usually a product.
