In the United States, today, #hateSpeech _is_ #freeSpeech. This is well established.
Don't think it should be? Don't want it to be?
Good!
Then we have real work to do.

@hrefna It should *absolutely* be considered free speech.
Hate speech is, by its very nature, subjective. If we pass laws outlawing hate speech, they will inevitably be used *against* minorities, not to protect them. Just think about the way many LGBTQ and pro-life activists talk about Christianity. Do you really trust a federal judge put in place by Republicans to not throw people in jail for hate speech against Christians?
In fact, there's precedent for this.
