It's still socially acceptable to be homophobic. You can't say anything racist any more or you get dirty looks, but if you make an openly anti-gay remark you get a few giggles and nudges.



I suppose most religious values teach us that God is homophobic, its a sin, AIDS was sent as a punishment for their sinful ways. It's difficult to prosecute God or Allah under hate crime laws.

Unfortunate turn of phrase there.





Sorry couldn't resist, I will just go and put on my flat cap and take the whippet for a walk.
