Sophistry.  You are describing "Moral Speech", which has exactly zero
standing in a "Free" society.  You have every right not to listen, but
no high ground to dictate to others what is acceptable.

The only non-protected speech is something that can be proved false.
There are penalties in place for me claiming you sell crack, cheat on
your taxes, or murdered your spouse.  That's the *only* sane restriction
on speech that doesn't stray into moral hazard territory.
