Hate speech is said to be widely provocative speech to denigrate a legally protected class or group of citizens defined by legislation. These protected groups can include gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, disability, and sometimes age. While language to protect other victim classes has been proposed, the Democratically controlled 110th Congress has rejected protections against the military, pregnant and battered women, or the homeless.Source needed. Under some legal codes, hate speech can be considered a hate crime.

Under a new Swedish law, any person who demonstrates disrespect (Swedish: “missaktning”) for people’s sexual orientation may be sentenced up to four years in prison. Needless to say, although the Bible is clear about God’s love to fallen mankind and that “God so loved the world….” there are many passages in the Bible that warns about sodomy and its dangers to both individuals and to society at large. Those passages – although expressing disrespect for the depraved act of sodomy - may erroneously be interpreted by some people to express disrespect for the people who engage in such activity. Or as the the Kalmar Court verdict against Pastor Green reads: “It is the opinion of this Court that Åke Green, through his statements, has deeply offended the homosexuals as a group and the purpose of his sermon was clearly aimed at showing disrespect for the homosexuals as a group.” [1]
