I think so, which is why I called it hate speech.
As I said, you dont need to howl at the moon or demand "round them all up and throw them in concentration camps" to qualify as hate speech. Instead creating the impression of something that is foul, that is other, that is against God and decency... can be equally hateful.
I personally would qualify the expression of a number of people "they are going to take away my freedom" on that video as hateful.
Whether these people like it or not, a number of kids that are going through education already will know that they are gay or bisexual, which is why it is important not to promote homosexuality as superior to heterosexualty (which no one is asking for or "advocating" for) - but to at least say that they are equally valid expressions of human experience, love, and sexuality.
