I think it depends on the location.
If you go to a kids playground the behaviour that is acceptable is much more limited then say in a par. I'd say that while you don't have a right not to be offended there is a reasonable limitation on free speech of don't have your anti abortion protest in a kids playground.
There is certainly a social norm at play.

So whose consent matters in that situation? I mean, it's one thing to call an action offensive and vulgar, but it's another to say that the offensive action should require another person's permission or else be a violation of their rights.
Referencing social norms suggest that it's the consent of general society that needs to be provided, which seems intuitive but is also a pretty slippery slope and definitely provides a lot of grey area.
