Yeah, I read that. I wish people would get a fucking clue about freedom of speech. SPEECH ISN'T PROTECTED IN A PRIVATE VENUE. You do not have any freedom of speech in a private venue. NONE. If it is my club then I determine what is acceptable speech. READ THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION AND AND HAVE SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE BIG WORDS TO YOU.
