I don’t believe sexual orientation is covered (at this time) by federal hate crime laws, and conservatives aren’t generally big fans of “Hate Crime” laws to start with. Even so, the “church” could claim a religious exemption.

Be careful what you ask for. If you start giving the government power to regulate free speech, what kind of speech will be regulated next?

The Government should never have been involved. The Community and the People should have resolved it.

Once. Years ago.

Are you saying if this group was saying nasty things about Muslims there would not be any court action? They took the people to court when the passengers of the plane of the 6 Imams reported suspicious behavior on the plane.
