Homophobic name calling isn't viewed in the same way by most people as most other abuse. Who in their right mind would use words like nigger, paki or spakker in their day-to-day lifes to refer to black, asian or disabled people? No one, that's who. However it still seems okay to use words like fag, homo, sh1tstabber and queer.
According to The Guardian a UK company has been fined because it did nothing to stop its staff and managers using gay taunts towards a queer member of staff. An industrial tribunal awarded £35,345 in compensation for constructive unfair dismissal, harassment and discrimination.
