Andy, I used to live in Sutton Road, S.O.S. I have some great pics (for me) of people on the seafront. Why didn't you just tell her that she made a great picture. ( I would be flattered) Why cheat her that it was for a newspaper? Do you want trouble?

Here are a couple of links purporting to set out the position in Australia. These are based on NSW law, but contain references to the other states and the basic principles would be pretty generally applicable:

It already saved Domenico from unfair treatment (threats) by a member of the public, so I say it was worth having. I doubt that the ACLU will ever come to the rescue of a Fair Minded individual.

These are the guys who come to the aid of a "lone individual" who is "offended" by displaying the Manger Scene at a public airport. The ACLU's position is that if one person is offended then we have to remove the Manger scene and not allow anyone to see it.
The ACLU never acknowledges that you do not have the right to never be offended in life, but that it is how you deal with such issues that count. You are living in a fantasy world if you think you can go through life and never run across dolts who will offend you. It is simply up to you to accept other religion's displays or other issues with which you may disagree (tolerate and be tolerated), and ignore ignorant comments by ignorant people.
I was merely making the point that would never carry a document in my pocket which is distributed by the ACLU, as this would justify their existence.

Craig, um, do you have any proof at all? Your first case, the girl wearing pants, sounds like a classic case of discrimination based on sex. Boys are allowed to wear pants, but not girls?
Your second argument, the "manger" scene, do you have a source? What were the details of the case? If it was a publically funded airport, it cannot endorse any religion.
The ACLU strives for equality and upholding the US Constitution. It has NOTHING to do with "feeling offended."
Craig, please, post some sources and legal analysis or kindly stop posting. You're the one who sounds like an ignorant person.
