The laws will initially apply to anti-gay actions against gay men, lesbians and bisexuals, and could be extended to transgender and disabled people if a case can be made.

"...if a case can be made"?

Whatinth'hell do they mean by that?!?

It can't be that TG are just not as subject to hatred and violence as being found out to be gay or lesbian, and thus there isn't that much need for the same protections for TGs.

<sigh>  Continue the education...

We are still sub-human so I am sure it has to be a pretty STRONG case. Jaded Jayna....

So its still ok to incite hatred here against TGs and the disabled. Good old Jack! He's really got our welfare at heart.

We have a disabled daughter so maybe if we invite the angry mob to single me and her out we can make a case to be included in the bill.

Educate a British politician?   It would easier to try and nail strawberry jelly to the ceiling.
