Under the text of the legislation, no. The only change it brings really is making violent physical acts or denying access to public facilities a hate crime. The only danger here, I fear, is if we have someone interprit this as "If someone said this about homosexuals- they are being descriminated against and are being barred their public rites" etc. After re-reading the bill; however, that would be a very...stupid interpritation to make and I don't believe someone could get away with that.

As to the courts...meh, recently they've been legislating too much from the bench- sad really. The checks and balences of the US government are in a precarious situation right now.

Gloria Patri et Filii et Spiritu Sancti, Amen!
