The ACLU endorses and defends free speech for all Americans, including those who preach closed-mindedness and hatred on sites such as conservapedia.

==ACLU and Free Speech==

If the realities brought to you by a globally accessible knowledge base are so overwhelming that you have to retreat to this clutch, so be it.  However, do not claim to be honest or trustworthy. You are small and offensive.

The ACLU rarely defends Christian speech, and virtually never defends speech that is critical of homosexuality.  The ACLU was silent with respect to the widely publicized censorship of a T-shirt critical of homosexuality that was worn by student Tyler Chase Harper at his public school.  "[It's hard to explain the ACLU's apparent equanimity about the violation of Mr. Harper's First Amendment rights -- unless you consider the content of his speech.  This case does not appear to be anomalous.  Despite its professed commitment to religious liberty, for example, the ACLU tends to absent itself from cases on college campuses involving the associational rights of Christian student groups to discriminate against gay students, in accordance with their religious beliefs."<ref>Wendy Kaminer, "The American Liberal Liberties Union," Wall Street Journal (May 23, 2007).</ref>
