Shoud being homophobic be against the law?

[drama]

Alot of people are using the term: Homophobes, which of course is people who have the irrational fear of homosexuals, however, most people don't have an irrational fear of gay people, they just think the idea is wrong.

I've turned many 'Homophobic' people into accepting me and others, they woudn't if they had an irrational fear.

Most people discriminate homosexuals because they're friends do/they're brought up like that/they're idiotic. but that doesn't mean they have a fear.


I voted no, people are entitled to their opinions, however as tom said earlier, if ACTS of homophobia are taken out, then yes as it's assault/harrasment etc, as it would be on a heterosexual person.

I thing that if it's made obvious that somebody is homophobic, the same action for racists should be taken on homophobics. However, people should be aloud to think what they like, wether other people think that thier views are mean ect.
So litrally what I think, if the homophobic keeps thier views in thier home/ not made obvious then they can't be taken action on. However, if they make it obvious how they feel, the same action as rasism should be taken.

no it shouldnt

[whoooosh]

its not peoples fault they are homophobic

I think that prejudice towards homosexual people should be illegal only if they make every form of irrational prejudices (well, more importantly, acting on these prejudices) illegal. The thing this most annoys me about is racism, because a lot of people treat it as though racism is so much worst than any other prejudice, such as against I don't know fat people or old people, because surely this is just as bad as picking on someone for racial reaosns or for being gay. For example a racist murder gets a higher sentence than a non-racial murder. Surely it's still murder in the same way if the person has attacekd the other unprovoked whether its for their skin colour or anything else?m

Anyway, I'm straying off the subject, I think that homophobia itself obviously cannot be illegal as so long as they keep this to themselves it doesn't matter, but if anyone acts on these prejudices then it should hold the same rules as for any other form of prejudice.

Well, okay, it`s unethical. Perhaps not ILLEGAL. Yet.

no, not at all, you can't control the way people feel, anyone who thinks it should be is a complete and utter idiot.
