The constitution makes no exception for speech that offends other people. A few bad Supreme Court cases, which need to be overturned, are the problem. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, who cares if some people are offended?
How can you not be on the side of legal free speech featuring consenting adults?
Did you read the article? The defense tried to present an expert witness and the judge refused, agreeing instead with the prosecutor who said something like, "we don't need any experts to tell us what we saw."
Free speech threads on GFY are always sad.
