Sex hate speak law in Britain is criminal

The amendment says nothing should prohibit or restrict “discussion of,
criticism of, or expression of antipathy towards conduct relating to a
particular sexual orientation, or urging persons of a particular sexual
orientation to refrain from or modify conduct according to that orientation”.

It mirrors a similar clause in Labour’s laws against incitement to religious
hatred which was forced through only after a protracted battle in Parliament.

The proposed law against incitement to hatred of homosexuals would carry a
maximum penalty of seven years in jail - a longer sentence than the five years
handed down to a typical rapist.
