The British government intends extending existing incitement to hatred legislation to cover gays and lesbians. As I understand it, this is an effort to prevent hate speech aimed at the gay community, not to stop the mouths of comedians. I should point out that many gay people are not happy with this move, seeing it as a further attack on freedom of expression. O’Doherty got it wrong.
