Sorry, Charlie
"Speech or publications that disparage or
ridicule a person (or class of persons) based on an incontrovertible
characteristic (e.g., race, origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age),
or an occupation... or family/marital status... or religion (or lack thereof)
must be firmly and fairly discouraged. Excluding blatant 'hate communication' in
a very broad sense [from the otherwise positive attributes of free speech] would,
more than likely, both cultivate and promote a far more inclusive, tolerant,
and safer society".
L.P.-G.
