One of the bonuses of a first amendment it that people are free to say what they think is true, and other people are free to hear them. Under those circumstances, it will be hard to find something that is universally taboo.
This comment is missing the point of either the first amendment or taboo topics.
The first amendment deals with what powers the government has with respect to free speech. Taboo topics are ones that other people will punish you for bringing up. Your peers are not the US government.
You're free to say anything, and your peers are free to shun you for saying anything.
