Scotland’s New Transgender ‘Hate Crime’ Law Already Showing How It Leads to Tyranny
https://www.dailysignal.co...
Scotland’s new “hate crime” law already is demonstrating how it will be used to squash dissent and free speech.
The so-called Hate Crime and Public Order Act, which went into force in Scotland on April Fools’ Day, adds age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and transgender identity to a list of protected classes.
The law provides for various potential punishments, including jail time.
The new law has been fiercely criticized by author J.K. Rowling, creator of the “Harry Potter” series, and many others who rightly see it as an attack on the freedom of speech.
Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said the bill is about “protecting people from a rising tide of hatred.” But who will protect the people’s God-given right to free speech?
