What Happened to "Freedom Of Speech"


It's still a free country.
You are still free to preach against the alleged dangers of engaging in a homosexual lifestyle, as Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield did recently.
You are even free to assert -- as Campfield did, incorrectly -- that the HIV epidemic began when a gay airline employee had sex with a monkey.
Just don't think you're going to be able to go to downtown Knoxville, sit down for brunch at one of its better restaurants and enjoy the red flannel hash topped with poached eggs -- because the proprietor just might refuse service to the likes of you.
