“Actually, that is no true. It protects speech. It has been used by pornographers to defend their material.”

Maybe, but if that were the case, as others posted here (in effect), then realtors could say something like “blacks not welcome” in their listings. Free speech died at least 50 years ago in the US...in some cases for the better (as above), and in many cases for the worse.

...if we’re going to regulate speech, which of course we do, then we might as well benefit from it too.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke

He has been proven right.
