Those religions that are oppressive to women are also against democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.

Nature says women are human beings, men have made religions to deny it. Nature says women are human beings, men cry out no!

I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended.

The American experience influenced my understanding of individuality, basic human rights, freedom of expression and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.

Many of us persons of the tinted persuasion care about human rights and artistic freedom too.

Therefore, the proclamation has no effect on the Bill of Rights -- specifically the freedom of speech, of expression or of the press and the right of the people to peaceful assembly and to petition the government for redress and grievances.
