We need less laws not more.
The thing with this mentality, although I agree with it, is that if you have two sides facing each other, and one side wants to criminalize the shit out of the other, and the other side wants to just live and let live, only one side is going to win.

Maybe we shouldn't turn anti-porn speech into illegal 'hate speech', but we should have porn enshrined as a fundamental right.

And no, trying to include porn as part of a vague definition of a constitutional right to 'freedom of speech' isn't enough. The EU has a supposed 'right to freedom of expression' in its charter of citizen's rights, it doesn't stop any number of 'hate speech' and censorship laws making such a right meaningless in practice.
