Save Ulster from Sodomy?

The BBC report on this case can be found at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12818480
What balance is to be stuck between the 'right' to freedom of speech and the 'rights' of minorities? What precedence should be given to claims that a group's dogmas, scriptures, 'rights' have some kind of priority? Who or what should decide? On what prinicples? How do we talk to each other when we have very different world views? What happens when one group claim that their insights must have priority? How do we live together when some claim absolute truth over other's 'mere opinions'. I could go on but will rest for a while.
