How is this not protected free speech?

Free speech is dead

I think this headline is just very misleading.

Authorities are investigating a possible hate crime after a group of men allegedly shouted homophobic and anti-LGBTQ slurs during a weekend Drag Queen Story Hour at a San Francisco Bay Area library

Slurs are definitely protected speech. What they are actually investigating is probably whether or not these guys were armed since they were in Idaho, but they are clearly intending to mislead you about what is happening here

From Wikipedia

"Hate speech in the United States cannot be directly regulated due to the fundamental right to freedom of speech protected by the Constitution."
