Is hate speech a moral right?

It’s not a “moral right.” But it is a constitutional one.

You don't have the right to say hateful things. People who do that are verbal rapists.

There is no such thing as "verbal rapist". You cannot force your words on anyone, and anyone has the right to shrug and ignore what you are saying. it is quite different from the actual rape, where the individual cannot walk away.

Your entire argument is based on the false assumptions that words lead to suicides. No, they do not; people's reactions to words can, however, and it is up to them to change their reactions. Nobody forces you to get upset over a bunch of sound waves caught by your ears. You can dismiss them as noise with no repercussions.

Sometimes just quoting can say it all...……..
