Personally I think this bill should not be passed because they can say what they want and hide the fact that as a christian they are going to take our right to speak in public about Jesus and what is in the bible so to take away our rights is not right just as we may offend people with our beliefs well to tell the truth why can't I be offended by what a person or an unbeliever says. But as a christian I will not be silenced by no means what so ever If you do not like what the Christian have to say well shut your ears. I will stand for what I believe and no one can change what I know to be the truth. All I can say is God Bless You and Hope that someone will stop this from going through. Thank you.

This bill promotes thought control and selective justice -- trademark of dictatorships like Zimbabwe or Russia in Soviet days. It's nothing less but an attack on First Amendment rights. It has to be defeated!

This is a horrible bill, we should be getting rid of all hate crime laws, and the ones that include race, color, religion, and nation origin too.
