    The title is click bait. It’s not homophobia it’s homophobic slurs that are being made a crime.

      Is this gonna be like that one Canadian bill that Kermit the Frog was upset about, where it’s the use of slurs as a form of harassment that’s been made a crime?

        I guess you have a point in that you can do worse than a homophobic slur and get away with it. It’s like job discrimination laws, you can still discriminate ugly people which is just as bad as discrimination of a protected class.

        I don’t have a good answer, if it’s any consolation they can be just as vile or more so long as they don’t use homophobic slurs.
