“When someone speaking before the Supremes can call them fags and hope they rot in hell will be the day I support their decision.
You can’t use that language on TV, in any classroom in America either.”
I suspect that the Supremes have been called worse than that. Maybe not someone actually petitioning them and hoping for a decision to go their way, but still.
That language IS used on TV pretty regularly. This 2 1/2 men show, just for an example, that is in the news right now used that sort of language and worse.
And, thirdly, having taught school, I can assure you that this type of language does occur. Hopefully not by the teacher, but it does happen.
This is a very emotion-laden issue, and the westboro group make it very, very hard to support anything that would assist them in any way, but it should not be judged on the basis of emotion and desire, but upon the principles stated in the Constitution.
Evidently community standards means dwelling in the sewer.
America has come a long long way, sadly sadly.
