Sexual orientation is not a ‘belief’. It is not a choice. There is no equivalence with a religious belief or a political conviction. You can change your belief system or voting habits, you cannot change your sexuality.
Yes Jon, I understand that. But isn't the issue whether someone should or should not be abused or not. Doesn't the issue lie with the bigot/extremist/ illiberal, whatever it may be who makes someone fear expressing what they think or feel in front of them. There are plenty of things people choose or don't choose (and some like religion that fit somewhere in between). Doesn't mean it's okay to abuse them into silence.
