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?
Even so. Seems excessive. Is one not allowed to be a rude ass?
You’re allowed to be a rude ass. You’re not allowed to harass.
I guess you have a point in that you can do worse than a homophobic slur and get away with it. It’s like job discrimination laws, you can still discriminate ugly people which is just as bad as discrimination of a protected class.
I don’t have a good answer, if it’s any consolation they can be just as vile or more so long as they don’t use homophobic slurs.
A bit off-topic. You actually have a very good point aboutjobs discrimination.

Yet their politicians have no problem bending over for corporations.

Nice to see the pendulum swing to an opposite extreme from Bolsanaro… Creating laws to make certain kinds of speech punishable by law certainly won’t blow up in the progressive camp’s face once another right-wing demagogue is elected, no sir.
