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.
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.
