Labeling free speech as “hate speech” is dangerous.
So called "hate speech" and "hate crimes" are really just excuses to lay the groundwork for ever more control. Once you get the concepts of "hate" this or "hate" that accepted, then who-ever is determining what is hateful from then on is in the drivers seat.
I saw a tweet from someone complaining about the number of men sending her direct messages expressing their horniness. Curious, I looked at her bio. She identifies as a "fat slut." I replied to her tweet with the suggestion that removing "slut" from her bio might reduce the number of offensive DMs. Within a few hours I learned that my account has been permanently suspended. I appealed that decision since at first I couldn't figure out what I had done that had violated the rules. Today I saw a notification in my account that I had been reported for hateful activity. The Twitter lords thanked the snitch for improving everyone's Twitter experience.
