as much as I personally dislike "hate speech" it's a slippery slope to ban it. Are banners being pulled by airplanes subject to the same limitations? If a slogan or emoji is projected on the side of a condominium do all the residents have to give their approval and permission?

Like I said, it's a slippery slope IMO.

There used to be a saying, "Although I don't agree or support your opinion, I would fight to allow you to have it".
