Why do some people believe freedom of speech gives them the right to be sexist, racist, ageist, etc?
People don't understand that "freedom of speech" does not mean "freedom from consequences".

"Freedom of Speech" has NOTHING to do with what someone thinks or believes. It only allows them to tell others of those thoughts/beliefs.
Being bigoted in any way is "Freedom of Thought" ... And there is no way to regulate what someone is thinking. If there were, there would be NO freedoms.
