Victory Fund campaign against hate speech

March 13, 2008

You may have heard about an Oklahoma legislator’s comment that gays are “worse than terrorists.” I learned about the situation from a friend’s daughter, who posted on her blog, Ave Lydia, a video by the Victory Fund. The video includes audio of the legislator’s comments and visuals of individuals protesting the hate speech.

Here’s the video:

You can sign the Victory Fund’s open letter of protest and/or you can follow Lydia’s lead by “writing a strongly worded note” to Oklahoma legislators to explain why hate speech is a dangerous misuse of our right to free speech.

    Hate speech is not free speech. Free speech promotes freedom, thought, and discussion. Whereas hate speech promotes hatred, bigotry, and lies.
