[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am gay and I do not want to live in a country where people are subject to compelled speech or expression.

Remember, this can work both ways. If governments have power to compel speech, they will have that power no matter who is in charge. Anyone who disagrees with the court decision should remember this if and when conservatives are in power.

If you are a publisher, should you be forced to publish nazi propaganda? Of course not. Not just because nazi propaganda is wrong, but also because you as a human have a right to freedom of expression and that includes the right to be free from compelled speech. [/quote]

Being a nazi is not a protected class. It’s not a good example. Find a valid example.[/quote]

You missed the point. 
It isn’t about whether being a nazi is a protected class. It isn’t about whether nazism is right or wrong.

A website can decline to publish certain pieces if they believe the content is immoral. The validity of their judgement of what is immoral is not what is in question.

Jeff deletes stuff all the time off this website. It’s his website. He’s allowed to do that because it’s his website and he gets to decide what stays online, not because his opinions are infallible. He is not required to publish the opinions of others with whom he disagrees.[/quote]
