April 7, 20232 yr 38 minutes ago, xzmattzx said: What is defined as "hate speech" is the key. Is it hate speech to openly profess that you shouldn't run a drag show for kids? Is it hate speech to call a transgender woman a biological man? That's a tricky one. We have hate speech laws over here and they are almost never ever in play. They are saved for the most egregious acts. That's the way it should be. Must be said though that our courts aren't really politicized, yet.
April 7, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Mike030270 said: You realize this is about them being able to perform without people harassing them right? It's area specific Define "harassment" then. If it's physically harassing someone, then there are laws that prohibit that, regardless of the legal act taking place. Is openly objecting to it considered harassment? Does this community safety zone get applied to any public event? Can it apply to speakers on a college campus as well as drag shows? Or is it just for LGBT events? The devil is in the details, as DrPhilly said.

Speech isn't violence unless there is a call to actual physical violence. A repeated pattern of targeted verbal abuse toward an individual is a different thing altogether.

I get that and I agree but I also think it'd be odd to go to their shows and not know how to act It's not going to impact everyone. Just those that are there for the timeframe of the show

Just those that are there for the timeframe of the show There are other rules/laws in place to manage situations where someone is disrupting a show. Just take the offender by the collar and throw them out the door if necessary.

I have a major problem with this stuff happening in front of children..... Especially in taxpayer funded schools and libraries.
