Did you read my post? I'm thinking you didn't. I don't want the first amendment rights of people I can't stand taken away, BUT where the first amendment right is in conflict with other constitutional rights there must be balance- and where there is a compelling state interest, as there is in states combatting discrimination (according to the Supreme Court) the first amendment will not always win- and where there is only a requirement of reasonableness, and where there is a compelling state interest, I find it unlikely the person who wishes to discriminate will win. I don't see anything in that which relates to how I might feel about the speech in question. Your logic is unclear to me. Now, on to you, since you brought my toleration up. Are you tolerant of racial discrimination? How about Nazis? You haven't answered that yet, not that I think it has anything to do with the law, but I'm wondering just how tolerant you are, compared to me- since you brought me up.
