The right to free speech is also the right to call another person by any identifier you please. This bill will never stand. It's an asinine attempt by morons to promote their feeling based agendas.
Do you really think the courts will side with truth, justice, and the constitution? Hell no they won't. The judges will invent a reason for it to be constitutional and just let it happen.
What sucks is that this will have to be litigated, so all this time and money will be spent to strike it down when it should never have passed in the first place.

The supreme court has and will uphold the first amendment. Regardless of what the stupid lower level courts say.

The Supreme Court ruled last month that hate speech is protected.
