So, summat with ist on the end could be illegal - like racist?
But homophobic isn't? Well, it's a fear isn't it? So what's the 'ist' that's illegal about 'gay' then?
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with 'gay' (apart from the fact that I can't be 'gay' any more 'cos that would mean I wouldn't be straight and I have to find another word to describe how happy I am...huh?)
It can't be the 'ism' bit because then communism would be illegal and so would lesbianism...
It's okay, I've found a word that ends in 'ist' that ISN'T illegal!
