As a retired U.S. military member, I want to believe that my service helped defend free speech, even speech I found offensive.
There's a difference, however, between defending free speech and celebrating a life that hid behind free speech to promote racism, sexism, homophobia, and intolerance.

Thanks to Tulsa Chanel 2 for covering this event. I want to encourage everyone concerned with the deterioration of American democracy to do something - even if its just a small protest (every action counts). Don't just watch democracy die from the sidelines.
