1st amendment clarity
Freedom of speech is a right to blasphemise though. If they don't want blasphemy, they don't want full freedom
Are you kidding? They don't want real freedom. They want "their" freedom and to hell with anyone who steps outside their little box!
Maybe Jesus was "transgender" who knows. He never spoke about his sexuality besides, being "transgender" is a physical condition. Who knows what "genitalia "he possessed.
And you right free speech is the right to blasphemy.

That's what I mean, it's not full freedom in the genuine sense that they want.
Possibly, the whole thing about gender and sexuality needn't matter. I reckon men and women in a lot of ways aren't really that different at all, the whole idea of people wanting to be another gender is based on their gender stereotypes (i.e. gentleness) and them thinking it'd make them someone else, but I don't think it would, or certainly not in the way people think it would. I think all people are cut of the same cloth really... and I think any trends of major differences you do get between men and women (even in the same family) are purely down to being raised in different situations, with different expectations on them, facing different problems, and therefore seeing a different perspective.

what we need is 1st Amendment Clarity..
That could help, or work badly against you depending on how it goes. It'd take a very very brave (or suicidal) person to openly allow blasphemy - a lot of them would be prepared to give up freedom and it'd be very hard to justify in their eyes. If it became law, people would debate what blasphemy was, and the door could be open for systematic persecution of anything that offended christianity, and at that point you'd have people citing the bible in court as a reason to prosecute. All the time it's vague, you have freedom. Unless it's specified as an exception (like it is over here with national secrets or terrorism) then you can assume it's legal
I'm no longer afraid-never really have-to step up to that plate..
I'm gonna DEMAND that one-way or another this church/state thing will be resolved

Others may not be so prepared... for me it's a gamble I could lose
I am scared to death that the "religious right" is going to get control of this country then we will have an American version of the "holy wars".
They will kill everyone who doesn't follow their doctrine. There will be no free speech, sex will be outlawed , gays and blasphemers will be beheaded, everyone will be forced to read their book etc...Oh shit...it's a frightening thought! The religious rights is totally nuts!

When he took his ministry back to his hometown, nobody was impressed, because they'd all grown up with him and knew him, and didn't see anything special about him. Kind of, "Knock it off, get back to carpentering, and quit pretending to be somebody."
Somehow, I think if he was born with any terribly unique physical features, it would have gone around the town and come up when they were mocking him.
But yes, you're right. Free speech is the right to blasphemy. Free speech is also the right to disagree with what another person says. A candlelit vigil really doesn't fall under any form of censorship.
And, if this happened in Scotland, quoting the 1st Amendment of the American Constitution seems a little out-of-place.

If that is where it stopped (candlelight vigil) then that would be hunky dory.
But that is not where it stops now is it?
Not only do people seek to close the mouths of those they disagree with but governments also and force is often used sometimes to the point of death.
As for Jesus being "transgendered", on a trans gender, a man can have male genitalia but still feel he is trapped in the wrong body.
Only he would know how he feels.
Not that I think Jesus was trans gender because I don't. But I don't think he was "god" or the "physical son of God" either.
It all comes down to this, how do we define fine 'freedom of speech' . What are it's limitations? Should there be limitations?

If we're talking about this incident, that is where it stopped. There were people protesting with signs. That's also a protected right. If anyone had been assaulted, or some of the protesters had gone in and tried to halt the performance, that's very likely the sort of thing that would show up in the article.
There are limitations now. If someone cries out an emergency in a crowd situation just to see people freak out, he's going to get busted, even if he claims it's his right to free speech.
