    Speech about homosexual behavior is not and should not EVER be a crime!
    Telling them "I think engaging in homosexual behavior is a sin and that your going to hell" is perfectly acceptable.

    Whats not acceptable is saying "fag!" or "queer!"...
    Those words are no different than "spic" or "nigger".

    In your religion it doesn't have you go out and promote hate literature like these girls did. It teaches you that it's a sin thats it. If you do anything against the sinner then youo no different then a Muslim Terrorist.

    And none of those words should be illegal, either. You may disagree that such words are appropriate, but that is not grounds for banning them from being uttered.

    The story doesn't say what exactly the girls said that was considered "hate speech." Some gay groups consider simply calling homosexual behavior sin to be hate speech.

    As long as the letters were not threatening or libelous in nature, the girls should not be charged with anything.
