One is not exactly free to say what they want, and nor should they. If he is spreading hate, he should not be allowed to say what he wants.
Discriminating against gay people should not be allowed through free speech, in the same way that discriminating against other minorities - whether visible or not.
We do not allow discrimination based on religion, which is a choice. Why do we condone discrimination based on sexual orientation, which for the vast majority of gay people is not a choice?
