Not Norwegian but my country (Italy) is currently discussing this same bill. It will become illegal to discriminate or hit someone for sexual orientation and gender alone. In fact the sentence will be harsher if it is proven you hate the victim's category.

Our bill keeps the freedom to have an opinion and it looks like so does the Norwegian one.

I suppose I don’t really understand where the line is drawn with hate speech anymore though. It seems very much like disagreeing with a person or raising concerns about proposed policy changes is all it takes for something to be labeled hate speech now. Then, again, I’m coming at this from a very American perspective.
