Good News From the UK: Joking About Teh Ghey is Now Illegal Hate Speech

It appears to be illegal now in the UK to make jokes about Teh Ghey. "A BID to halt legislation banning gay jokes which stir up hatred was defeated yesterday. MPs from all parties tried to include a defence of “free speech” into the Bill which makes it a criminal offence to incite hatred over sexual orientation. But their attempt was defeated in a Commons vote by 328 to 174." I wonder if it's illegal only for straight people to joke about gays, or if it's hate speech if a gay person makes a joke about being gay. Is it also hate speech if someone says: that's so GAY-you know, like we did in the 1980s? This is seriously unfunny stuff, mates. It's Elton John's birthday today. So, if I say Long Live the Queen-is that hate speech? I guess so.
