I love this. Stop lumping religion in with sexuality and race as if they deserve the same sort of protection. There is nothing to argue or disagree with it comes to the latter, those opinions are not tolerated in the modern world, you're either for or against. Religion however is vastly different.
If you disagree with homosexuality (or black people) in any way or stance, you're homophobic/racist. There is no "bu ... but I just have a different opinion than you!" It is what it is and there is NO in between.
However it's perfectly acceptable to be angry or use defensive speech against certain religious topics (such as outdated practices).

I'm gonna play the devil's adovocate on this. So if someone critisizes homosexuality or blacks then they are homophobic or racist? If I say that I don't like gay parades (too loud) or how blacks are openly racist to whites then I'm a homephobe or a racist?

That's not disagreeing with homosexuality tho (and for the record I agree about parades, but for different reasons). I don't see that as being against gays. It's people saying stuff liek "I don't like gay marriage" there is no instance here where that isn't homophobic.

Saying, "I don't agree with gay marriage," isn't discriminating. Discriminating is treating someone different based on their race/religion/etc. You aren't treating them different with that thought. You are merely expressing an opinion. Now if you say, "I think gays should have less rights," or, "I think we should get rid of gays," or, "I hate gays," etc, that would be discrimination/hate speech.
