Voltaire said “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” - I was always under the impression that this was the point of the constitutional right to free speech.

All that being said, I think we’re still a long way from 1984, but (to spout another platitude) “…the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.” Thomas Jefferson.

The place where the lesbian spouse of a San Francisco government worker is suing to get the government to change her to a man. She started to get the surgery, which was covered by the health care benefits of her partner Tammy Haygood. But when Haygood was fired, the benefits were cut off, leaving the surgery only partially finished. comment: An article like that could only come from San Francisco.
