Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022 - Read OP

really?? 😂

No. You are completely missing the point. The Incitement to Hatred Act makes inciting hatred a crime not inciting violence. Another reason to support updating the law because the Bill provides for both.

And just to add, to anyone saying this new legislation does nothing for violence, we have Section 6 of the Public Order act from 1994:

So again, this new legislation does nothing that isn't already covered.

Ah yes, arguing the merits of hate speech cause persecution has been historically acceptable... If we're to follow your logic, any acts of violence against gay people were also largely ignored and not prosecuted. So shouldn't even tamp down on that.

This is why debating activists is pointless. They are indeed idiots, but I've never once heard those idiots or anyone else make such an argument, and I'd almost put money on the fact that you can't support what you've said. The general position seems to be that LGBT children shouldn't be reading sexually explicit content at such a young age, and it certainly shouldn't be available in children's sections of a library. The same way we don't encourage "cis" kids to watch porn in their teens.

Generally we're referring to sex education books.... Both straight and LGBT books around this realistically have to adapt to the times so nah, they're not porn and the books tend to be critically acclaimed for the quality of information. The other scenario is ending up with teens learning from pornography which happens for both straight and LGBT teens.

Which bit? The library incidents, opposition to education and claiming that science says there's only two genders is well documented.

"Such a young age" - what age? NO kids should be reading sexually explicit content at a young age (as in pre teenage) but they kinda need to learn about sex and relationships as teenagers, but that's my point: people are ok about them learning about sexuality but are opposed to them leaening about gender, so there's less prejudice with regards to gender.

Finally, it sounds like you're saying you don't know the differeence between sexual education literature and porn and that you think porn is in classrooms? I'm thinking I've taken you up wrong, here - but please clarify?

I would be wasting my time pointing out legislation to you, Ray Charles would see it quicker.

And we are back to normal service of mini responses. That is really grounds for a solid argument right there.

It has been pointed out, again and again, that there is existing legislation that covers what you THINK this new legislation does. You just want this to hide behind the "hate speech" wall when your fragile beliefs are challenged. Run for the hills, cry hate speech, repeat.

Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994, already has it covered.

You were saying?
