[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preaching at a Pride event. Was it anti LGBTQ?[/quote] Even if it was, that's not reason for arrest. That's not illegal.[/quote] If he was spouting hate speech, then yes it could have been illegal. Yes, many religious texts contain hate speech, especially when used in the context of a Pride celebration and meant to be intimidating to others. [/quote] Quoting Bible verses publicly is not hate speech. [/quote] Hate speech is contextual. You can say what you want in your own home. You cannot say what you want, or read what you want, when you want publicly, particularly in the context of what else is going on around you. And while not all of the Bible is hateful, there is most certainly some hateful speech contained in the Bible (and within parts of many/most other religious texts). [/quote]
