According to the 9th Circuit Court, "Marraige" and "Natural Family" are "Hate Speech"
The Uber-Liberal 9th Circuit Court (the same court that outlawed "In God" from the Pledge of Allegiance) has backed the City of Oakland in it's uber-gay stance on the words "marriage" and "natural family".
So any mention of the natural and normal family of one man and one woman or family values are hate speech? What's next? The word "normal" because that may offend non-normal gays? Or how about deeming "cat" hate speech because that may offend dog owners? Deeming any word as "hate speech" is ludicrous and offensive to me, thus I now state that the words "9th Circuit Court" and "Oakland" are hate speech and will be outraged if they are uttered in my presence!

The ADF's decision follows an announcement by the Pro-Family Law Center (PFLC) in Temecula, Calif., to appeal a 9th Circuit Court ruling last week that censored the terms "natural family" and "marriage" as offensive.
That case originated on Jan. 3, 2003, when Regina Rederford and Robin Christy, two employees of the City of Oakland, posted a notice on a city bulletin board in response to a message announcing the formation of a homosexual employee association.
Rederford and Christy noted that "Good News Employee Associations is a forum for people of faith to express their views on the contemporary issues of the day with respect for the natural family, marriage and family values."
The city manager ordered the message removed because it contained "statements of a homophobic nature" and promoted "sexual-orientation-based harassment."
The employees filed suit in July, claiming that the city's anti-discrimination policy "promotes homosexuality" and "openly denounces Christian values."

When the matter reached the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the court "concluded that municipalities have a right to literally dictate what form an employee's speech may take, even if it is in regard to controversial public issues," the PFLC says on its website.
"Shockingly, the court concluded that the interest of Christian employees in speaking out on the issue of marriage is 'vanishingly small' and that the 'administrative' interests of a city are more important than speech rights," the group said.
