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?
- Okay, but is this still good news or not?
