British government wants to ban inciting homophobic hatred
2007-10-09
The British government wants to ban the incitement of hatred against homosexuals, the country's justice secretary said Monday.
That sounds pretty un-Islamic. Should be good for at least a month's rioting, maybe a coupla bus booms.
The proposed law would make inciting hatred of gays, lesbians and bisexuals unlawful, Jack Straw told lawmakers, adding that the law could be extended to ban the incitement of hatred against disabled or transgendered people "if a case can be made."

"It is a measure of quite how far we have come as a society in the last 10 years that we are now appalled by hatred and invective directed at gay people," Straw said. "It is time for the law to recognize this." The proposed law, applauded by homosexual rights campaigners, comes only days after a controversial law on inciting religious hatred came into force.
"Hey! Nice tits!"
"Thanks! I traded my tats for them!"
