Anti-gay remarks to be illegal?   
Do we want this?

---------------------------------------------------------
'Government "open to discussion" on homophobic incitement

'A Home Office minister has vowed to review homophobic incitement laws
amid calls for anti-gay remarks to be made illegal.'

'There are currently no laws against homophobic incitement, although
anti gay remarks can be brought under Public Order Offences, as seen
in the conviction of Conservative Councillor Peter Willows in Brighton
last month after he described gay people as paedophiles.'

What if paedophiles are described as gay? Is that the same?
