Hate speech isn't about the dislike of an individual. It's usually about the targeting of individuals or groups through involuntary characteristics. Greenwich's comment that Latham is a "disgusting human being" is personal and nasty but not hate speech. Latham's comment is hate speech not because it's nasty to Greenwich but because it targets all homosexuals, something which is an involuntary orientation.
