That you find it disgusting is, in fact, the reason it makes a good test for whether you are arguing for a generally applicable human right, or merely a privilege to be extended and withdrawn arbitrarily. It is altogether too cheap to argue that the things you happen to find sacred and wholesome must be protected from jeers and sarcasm. If you're sincere about protection from ridicule being an actual human right, then it must also apply to (otherwise legal) activities that you find repulsive.
Otherwise, you're just serving up sectarian special pleading.

The thing I hold sacred and absolutely supreme is human dignity. It implies respect for a person's identity.
I don't, unless you can be more specific. Your demand, your proof. Align culture with our nature. Ot else!
