Your right to free speech applies to both. However, the slippery slope comes in when it's your right to speak freely about limiting the rights of others. It's their right to speak of those matters, but supporting an amendment to the constitution to do the same does not merit the same necessary respect as speech.
Note that I use 'respect' in the sense of 'acknowledgement and deference to the fact that it's allowed', and not 'recognition of worth or value'
