Banning Gay People Online
Summary
Discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited under U.S. Law, including online. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the First Amendment protect against such discrimination. Any law violating these protections would likely be struck down in court. The Miller Test determines what is considered obscene, and sexual orientation does not inherently meet these criteria. Public opinion and legal challenges play a role in shaping and enforcing these laws.Full Conversation
