In case you haven't heard, there is a bill going through Congress that would end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Fox News reported this which can be read here. Coming from Fox News it's no surprise that Neal McCluskey was quoted saying, "The definition of harassment could be broadly interpreted that anybody who expressed a totally legitimate opinion about homosexual behavior could be made illegal." McCluskey seems worried that hate might be made illegal.
It is very important that this bill be passed. In the Civil Rights arena, gay and lesbian issues have always been left behind. Always the longest to have to fight, the last to access rights. So many LGBTQ students fear going to school because of other students taunting, and sometimes committing violent acts against LGBTQ students. This causes many LGBTQ students to miss more school days than the average student. This bill would help ensure a safer environment where all can thrive, and hate will finally see its' end. McCluskey believed that the main supporter of this bill was trying to indoctrinate homosexuality, and believed that the administration is pushing a radical social agenda by allowing this bill into Congress. This is about equality, and so that all students feel safe and have a fair chance of succeeding. The bill was made in hopes of promoting equality, not sexuality. McCluskey is wanting free hate, not free speech...
