Shoud being homophobic be against the law?

[-:Undertaker:-]

You can't stop someone being homophobic if they are homophobic.

No and neither should racism. Acts of homophobia/racism obviously should be, but I think they should be treated in the same way as any normal assault or whatever. In my opinion if one guy gets beaten up for no reason at all, and another gets beaten up for being foreign or gay or whatever, that's two identical cases and there shouldn't be extra protection for people just because they're a "minority".

Couldn't agree more.

People do... but the government thinks racism is worse than homophobia.. they can't control everything otherwise there would be riots

Homephobia should be against the law, since homophobia is really the irrational fear or hatred of homosexuality and/or bisexuality, and it has never been illegal to have a phobia. I think acts of homophobia (abuse, verbal, physical and any other) should be, and are in some places.

Rules are there to be broken, and that is why without rules life is better. Look at European countries, they don't have strict rules on littering and what do you know? No litter. It's too late to remove these rules anyway, because people would go crazy for a few years because a rule which restricted them from doing something has now been lifted, idiots are sad enough to go crazy on the idea.

Homophobia isn't really as frowned upon as racism, I'm not actually sure why come to think of it, because both you are born with, although the theory on when you are a homosexual is mixed around alot, one moment it is genes, the next is just a social thing, you become a homosexual through social workings, either way, you can't really stop someone from being gay, much like someone of a different ethnic background cannot be changed.

Erm, no. That just contradicts everything else that someone could be against.
