So nobody should be allowed to say anything bad about anyone? Especially if they're telling the truth? Cause that could hurt someone.
Freedom of Speech, and I'll use the U.S.'s First Amendment as the reference for this, was intended to protect speech such as this. Freedom of speech is used to allow people to speak their minds, even if their minds are filled with hate. If freedom of speech is taken away, then one of the most powerful weapons against the formation of a tyranous and/or fascist government has been taken away from the public.
I believe that he has the right to say that he hates the gays and that homosexuality is wrong, but he does not have the right to ensight a riot or violence against gays.
