This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Make homophobia, whatever form it is received in. A criminal offence.
Homophobia, should be treated the same as racism in terms of punishment. A bigger crackdown should be happening to protect people under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.
I myself have been on the receiving end of homophobia, so know first hand what it can do to people.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and homophobic hate crimes are already illegal.
