'''Hate speech''' is provocative speech used to denigrate a person or group based on personal characteristics, and in some cases defined by various forms of legislation.  Characteristics which are the target of hate crimes can include race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, gender identity, physical or mental disability, age, or any other identifying or differing attributes from that of the perpetrator of hate speech. Under some legal codes, hate speech can be considered a [[hate crime]].

'''Hate speech''' is speech or writing which is critical of a legally protected class or group of citizens defined by legislation.  Under some legal codes, hate speech can be considered a [[hate crime]]. Hate speech codes typically justify this immunity from criticism by labeling it "provocative speech used to denigrate" members of the group. These protected groups can include gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, disability, and sometimes age.

Many speech codes cover comments about homosexuals. The primary purposed of these "hate speech" codes and "hate crime" legislation in the U.S. and Europe is to end all criticism of homosexuality or homosexual persons by classifying it as "[[Homophobia]]." Thus, it is difficult to criticize that lifestyle. In countries that ban "hate speech," such laws have failed to deter extremism.<ref>Collins, Will (November 13, 2019).

Currently, the federal government, and many states, are legally barred from expressly prohibiting hate speech. At the federal level, hate speech is protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This amendment explicitly grants all Americans the right, under federal law, to practice all types of speech and forms of expression, including specifically that which some may consider to be offensive or derogatory.<ref>Terminiello v.

Under a new Swedish law, any person who demonstrates disrespect (Swedish: "missaktning") for people's sexual orientation may be sentenced to up to four years in prison. Needless to say, although the Bible is clear about God's love for fallen mankind and that "God so loved the world…." there are many passages in the Bible that warn about sodomy and its dangers to both individuals and society at large. Those passages – although expressing disrespect for the depraved act of sodomy – may erroneously be interpreted by some people to express disrespect for the people who engage in such activity. Or as the Kalmar Court verdict against Pastor Green reads: "It is the opinion of this Court that Åke Green, through his statements, has deeply offended the homosexuals as a group and the purpose of his sermon was clearly aimed at showing disrespect for the homosexuals as a group."

Situations in which hate speech may be prosecuted as illegal, and thus where the first amendment is not applicable, include instances of obscenity, defamation, incitement to riot, or the use of "fighting words".

Nonetheless, the strategy of activists is to insist that condemnation of sin is a type of "prejudice" equivalent to a civil rights violation. They want people of conscience, who already condemn antisemitism and racism, to regard any critique of homosexuality as an expression of "hate".

Hate speech is speech or writing which is critical of a legally protected class or group of citizens defined by legislation. Under some legal codes, hate speech can be considered a hate crime. Hate speech codes typically justify this immunity from criticism by labeling it "provocative speech used to denigrate" members of the group. These protected groups can include gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, disability, and sometimes age.

Hate speech, even when legally defined as such, is not a crime in the United States because speech is protected under the First Amendment. In some instances, however, hate speech may be entered as evidence that a separate crime, such as assault, should qualify as a hate crime.

Many speech codes cover comments about homosexuals. The primary purposed of these "hate speech" codes and "hate crime" legislation in the U.S. and Europe is to end all criticism of homosexuality or homosexual persons by classifying it as "Homophobia." Thus, it is difficult to criticize that lifestyle. In countries that ban "hate speech," such laws have failed to deter extremism.[1]

The Left frequently uses the term "hate speech" in an effort to criminalize speech they personally do not like.[2]

Under a new Swedish law, any person who demonstrates disrespect (Swedish: "missaktning") for people's sexual orientation may be sentenced to up to four years in prison. Needless to say, although the Bible is clear about God's love for fallen mankind and that "God so loved the world…." there are many passages in the Bible that warn about sodomy and its dangers to both individuals and society at large. Those passages – although expressing disrespect for the depraved act of sodomy – may erroneously be interpreted by some people to express disrespect for the people who engage in such activity. Or as the Kalmar Court verdict against Pastor Green reads: "It is the opinion of this Court that Åke Green, through his statements, has deeply offended the homosexuals as a group and the purpose of his sermon was clearly aimed at showing disrespect for the homosexuals as a group." [1]

Similar hate speech laws exist in Canada, in the form of a provision in the Canadian Human Rights Act. Luckily, attempts to use these provisions to silence religious freedom have been unsuccessful. Muslim attempts to accuse Maclean's magazine of hate speech for merely criticizing the religion were rejected.[3]

At least nine Western countries have made it a crime[19] to deny the historical reality of the Nazi Holocaust (the genocide of 6 million Jews and 5 million others). The idea is that it is hateful to the survivors and to the relatives of the victims to pretend that this painful episode never occurred.

Some people argue that being Jewish is a matter of race and thus unchangeable, and that being homosexual is likewise immutable.
