I asked my students to bring in examples of speeches that trouble in some form or fashion some of the ethical stances of communication that we discussed in the ethics unit. One student gave a very moving presentation, in which he came out to the class. He held a sign that read "I heard you" as he played the following youtube clip. Happy Anniversary, Stonewall.

freedom of speech

i'm a soldier fighting in iraq. when i hear protest of this war back at home i feel the same way as your student felt about that legislater... its all hate speech, that speech that women gave was horrible as are the protests of this war. it's not that it hurts my feelings from what the protestors say.... its that they are incouraging the fundimentalist to kill more soldiers.... the freedom of speech can hurt but it is our right.
