But you're still skirting around the issue rather than tackling it head-on. There is a level at which it cannot be a crime for a person to express a personal view about homosexuality (it happens, for example, in church pulpits).

Were the application as absolute as you are suggesting, it would be an offence to print the Bible or to read certain passages of it aloud in public. Yet clearly Christian ministers are not being rounded up and prosecuted en masse. I mention Christianity as it's an example I'm familiar with. I daresay there are others.
