What do you think... I certainly agree that this could be on the gay extremist's agenda... But would it actually happen?

I doubt it. If the preaching of a person or church incites someone to commit terrible crimes against the gay population, that's one thing, but we modern Mormons aren't known for our violent behavior. I can't think of any legal precedent for it, otherwise, which makes this a slippery slope fallacy.

if the KKK falls under the 1st amendment, so would that. they're still allowed to march, and they spout legit hate speech. saying you think something is a sin would have to be protected as well because that's not nearly as bad. i may disagree with it, but i wouldn't call that hate speech.
