Shoud being homophobic be against the law?

[FlyingJesus]

Im exactly like that, you see something stupid and you say 'Oh, thats well gay'

Should defo be against the law. If comments can mentally hurt someone, then why shouldn't the people be punnished for that?

So then calling someone fat or ugly should be illegal? That's just as relevant as calling someone gay or black or whatever, it's all just observation.

Not really.. if you're fat/ugly you can help that.. if your gay or black you can't.(Unless you turn into Micheal Jackson )

Fat people could do exercise and whatnot but a fair amount of the time it's genetic and/or upbringing that's the problem, and you can't help being ugly lol.

No It shouldn't be against the law, neither should racism... Everybody has freedom of speech, and no I'm not racist, nor anti racist... I really couldn't give a toss about other people's beliefs and ways of thinking...

homophobic crimes r already against the law

yes , if they have assaulted a gay person , because they are gay.

but i think this thread means more of the talking aspect ^^

Tbh it should be.

Some people don't like it but its ok about thinking about it but not saying it.

Its like racism.. I bet some muslim has really annoyed you one time and you've said something in your mind that I'm not gonna say

Banning freedom of speech would be taking a step towards becoming a dictatorship.

People are allowed their own opinions.

I completely 100% agree with that.

I said yes but for a different reason. I think it should be brought up to become level with Racism. If you notice, whenever a black person is murdered, all over the news it's stuff like "Could be an act of racism". But, when a gay person is killen they don't give a damn lol.

I do think people have their rights to their own opinion. I admit that I dislike religious believers, but that's my opinion and I understand that if I met one, who wasn't homophobic (Bible states homosexuality is gay - so most are) then I would change my opinion of them.

And because I have my dislikes of things, I know people aren't exactly going to like me because I'm gay. Unless they victimise me and make my life hell I don't really care what their opinion about me is.

wth yes they do:|
when there was the bombs found they thought it might of been due to gay pride.
