But what if it’s not a phobia and just a general dislike? The over use of phobia is destructive to language and gives idiots more power.

Newspeak. Homophobia means anything between "killing a homo because he's a homo" and "something a homo doesn't want to hear". It's intentionally as undefined and bubblegum-like as possible.

There's an old joke about anti-semtiism that seems apropos for people to understand what actually has happened and explain what will happen.
"Anti-semitism used to mean someone who didn't like Jews, now it's someone Jews don't like."
It's a far more accurate description of reality than most would like to admit.

Phobia means a fear of, and uh, I'm not scared of em

Phobia isn’t just a fear, it’s like having a full blown panic attack when exposed to their trigger. That’s how I found out that a friend was afraid of spiders. I was watching the Hobbit movie and a scene with spiders came up. Turns out she has a phobia, she ran screaming from the room. From a picture of CGI spiders on the television.

An irrational fear of homosexuals should be a crime? What upside down wacko world has Switzerland become? Outlawing people's emotions. Actions motivated by hate, maybe. Why not outlaw arachnophobia as well, or hey Claustrophobia is now against the law!

It's neither 'irrational' nor 'fear' to be repulsed by disgusting degenerates.

A phobia is an irrational fear regardless of subject matter. This isn't about fear. This is preventing opposition to an agenda. They are using this "phobia" angle to make it more palatable to the unsuspecting masses.

They're outlawing a state of mind, so it's literally a policy for thought-policing (I don't call it law because it's not lawful, only enforced by violence from the state).
Worse it's not even correctly labelled: they call it homophobia, when it should be called homohate and rightfully so.

Can they define it? That is a huge problem; they pass laws saying it is illegal to burn gays alive, and 2 years later they are jailing people for loving their kids.

Once Switzerland knuckled under and supplied client info to the IRS you knew it was going this way.

2020-01-08 | Gay rights: Switzerland to decide whether homophobia should be a crime
'In a study conducted recently by a gay rights organization ILGA on Europe’s LGBTIQ equality laws and policies, Switzerland placed 28th out of 49 countries. '
'If passed, Switzerland would join a handful of other European nations like Denmark and the Netherlands where homophobia is a criminal offense. '
'Roman Heggli, secretary-general of Swiss gay advocacy group Pink Cross, said the organization’s hotline receives dozens of reports of insults, threats, and physical violence against members of the LGBTIQ community each month. '
'While the country recognizes civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, entitling them to pension and inheritance rights, adoption of children is still not legal. '
'But that may change on Feb. 9, when Swiss voters will head to the polls to decide whether homophobia – hate crimes or discrimination based on sexual orientation –should be criminalized. '

Don't worry, laws like these don't apply to immigrants.

The left isn’t know for its intelligence. The left is similar to the way a child would view the world. A certain amount of it is good. But when it takes over it’s fast tracking society to hell.
