The Right to Exist

“In a democracy it is necessary that people should learn to endure having their sentiments outraged …”– Lord Bertrand Russell “For someone to tell me – especially the government – that I have to wear clothes, they’re telling me that I have to be ashamed of myself. Government is mandating that people shame themselves.” —Dan Speers “To be offended by the visual appearance of another person is prejudice, akin to racism. The right to exist, uncovered, should hold precedence over the right not to view this, for the objection is irrational.” –Terri Webb.
