For the people who are the victims of this type of speech, hate speech — for the gay kids, black kids, trans kids, Muslim kids and countless others — the world has always been too real in this aspect. They claim that such censorship impedes the right of free speech. Contemporary, widely conservative-backed, “free speech” preaching exists in discourse as a cultural and ideological gathering point that fails to give thought to the politics of speech in this country. All of these instances are cases of free speech, or at least issues that attorneys have attested are related to free speech. The gag is that free speech has never been a guarantee in this country.
