The president of the United States made a “joke” that his vice president “wants to hang [LGBT people]” in 2017.

How am I supposed to wake up to news like this and not believe war of some variety is coming, after the DoJ stripping protections for transgender students specifically very early in the administration, the DoJ saying existing rules about sex stereotryping and sex discrimination don’t necessarily apply to LGBT people, Pence’s official support of conversion therapy in Indiana, etc.

“When the conversation turned to gay rights, Trump motioned toward Pence and joked, “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!”

IMPORTANT NEWS,  PLEASE READ AND SPREAD

Word coming from a comrade out of Ohio that fascists are putting up explicitly anti-LGBT posters referencing and encouraging suicide of LGBT people at Cleveland State University and that the administration is allowing this blatant hate speech as “free speech.” There is currently a massive emboldening happening on the far right- these people are not afraid to speak out as they once were, and we need to bash back and put these people back in their place- online forums and 6 feet under. Pictures attached, please be aware they are potentially upsetting:

Ronald M. Berkman can take his free speech and shove it up his homophobe-embracing asshole.

Here is his twitter. Blow it the hell up: https://twitter.com/PresBerkman

Here is his email. Flood his inbox so that he sees nothing else for pages:
President.Berkman@csuohio.edu 

Here is the address of his office where you can send letters or news stories about the tons of LGBT people being murdered and killing themselves and ask him how he supports speech encouraging that kind of violence:

Cleveland State University President’s Office

2121 Euclid Avenue

Cleveland,
OH
44115-2214

Please reblog this immediately and send an email that says, if nothing else, “Shame on you for protecting homophobes and outright fascists on your campus. If there is another instance of fascist violence on your campus, like there was in Charlottesville, there will be blood on your hands.”

You’re right. Hate speech isn’t protected under the first amendment. Hate speech is legally defined as something intentionally to cause harm to minority groups.

The supreme court of America has ruled time and time again that hate speech isn’t protected under the first amendment

posters advocating for suicide of ANYONE is hate speech, this is of course illegal.

And I thought my University’s president was a scum bag but this is disgusting. As a president of a University part of your responsibility it to protect your students. That should be your priority over anything else. Posters telling a portion of your students to kill themselves is both a mental and physical threat to your students’ health.

“Protecting” the first amendment so you can allow some bigoted ads wipes to spew whatever hate speech they want is the last thing the president should be doing.

How hard is it to right an email condeming hate? Even my Uni’s president managed to do when we’re having similar issues and clearly condemned the perpetrators and didn’t make some bull shit up about protecting rights.
