Re: Pageant contestant disqualified over strange circumstances.


Well, I think it's fine if you want to be bigoted in your own home or create an organization of the people of your choosing. If you don't have the right to do that in Canada, then I'm glad I live in the USA. Limiting "hate speech" is a slippery slope as it's subjective. As much as I disagree with Westboro and Traak, they should have the right to have their say as long as they follow the rules and get a permit, etc. Next thing you know, anti-government speech could be considered "hate speech", as it is in some countries already.

For public places, and places of commerce, there should be no discrimination at all. You can't refuse to serve women in a restaurant, for example. But I think it's sad you can't create a boys-only organization in Canada.
