If anyone tells you that you cannot legislate morality, remeber that legislation IS morality
Free speech is a right that Americans enjoy without much thought, but this right is denied many around the globe in other countries. When you engage in free speech then you are free to say what you think and feel without government interference or intimidation, no matter what you are advocating for or against with your speech. In many countries speaking against the government or the leaders of a country can result in arrest, incarceration, or even death in some nations.
