Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner.
It's troublesome that people think it's perfectly fine to alienate and marginalize 10% of a population. The times are changing. 10 years ago 59% of people polled opposed same sex marriage. Today, 59% polled support it. The LGBT community is less than 10% of the population. Look how long it was okay to marginalize and alienate them.
As far as the First Amendment goes, can anyone recite the first five words of that amendment?
Regardless of what you might think people really don't have the right to not be offended. If I name my business purposely to insult you then you either need to get over it or get the community to agree with you. It really doesn't matter in terms of rights if I decide to be an asshole. It might surprise you, but I have the right to be an asshole.
