And if you missed this regarding Phelps, then it is time to watch:

Michael Moore and the Sodomobile get back at some homophobic fanatics.
From the two season show of Moore's that ran on Bravo in 1999 and 2000- The Awful Truth

1. Phelps, and his unholy clan, are among the few people I can truly say I hate
and yet I have to support their first amendment rights, no matter how heinous their speech, and yes, I'm gay.

When you start limiting speech based on how loathsome, and even evil, the content, everybody's rights are at risk.

Thanks for posting the link to the Sodomobile video, it's been a while since I've seen it.
