I agree with your main point that she has the right to protest but we also have the right to criticize her and the belief that she cites is the reason for her protest. The westboro baptist church also has the right to protest and also are a bunch of bigoted jackasses.
I think citing old testament references to make their beliefs sound ridiculous is a legitimate move if they are using the old testament references to justify their bigotry.

Good point on the old testament, but there are new testament references against it too. The religion did originate in the middle-east, and they certainly weren't more pro-gay several thousand years ago.
And yes, it is your right to call her whatever you please and criticize her beliefs. As long as we agree that she can protest, we can be friends. It is kind of my guilty pleasure to play devil's advocate in situations like this.
