Hate speech is a different matter, that's why it's not legally protected. I believe in the first amendment, both the freedom it grants and the limitations it imposes. Harassing a kid because he's gay or African American isn't protected, and I'm OK with that.
- gojomo 12y ago"Hate speech" is legally protected in the United States, unless it incites imminent violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech#Supreme_Court_case_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech#Supreme_Court_case... With regard to the first amendment in the Bill of Rights, the only "limitations it imposes" are on Congress, not anyone's speech.
