Is This Really Free Speech? Or Just Plain Hate? In this episode, we take a hard look at disturbing statements made at a recent “pray the gay away” event hosted by an Indiana church, where speakers openly called for violence and death against LGBTQ+ people. We’ll explore how this kind of speech challenges our understanding of “free speech” and whether it crosses the line into hate speech. We also unpack what the First Amendment really protects, why clear boundaries matter, and why calls for state-sponsored violence — even when cloaked in religious language — are deeply dangerous. This isn't just about one church. It’s about a growing pattern of extremist rhetoric and the risk of normalizing hate. It’s time to stand up, speak out, and push back against those who would use religion to justify violence and oppression. We’re not here for clicks or cash. We’re here to create compassion, understanding, and a world where everyone is safe to exist. Advocate Article: https://www.advocate.com/news/indiana-lgbtq-church-death-preach
