Hate speech has evolved from saying bad things directly to people to saying something about the nature of what one thinks is wrong. To speak against homosexuality in general for example is considered hate speech, so, one cannot even state their opinions on that lifestyle. It essentially has been taken off the table. Ministers cannot preach against it for example, but it is never hate speech to rail against the Christian religion.
