Indeed. This bill aims to protect people (particularly vulnerable groups) from inappropriate behaviour by others.
As an example, take a look at this thread:

Hugh disagreed with my statement that Virgin are again the most complained about company as he believed that it was only partially correct.
He did it in a polite and reasonable manner, so his right to disagree with my statement wouldn't be affected by the new legislation.
Disagreeing with someone else's point of view (as long as it's done in a right manner, with consideration and in a holistic manner) isn't inappropriate behaviour.
Disagreeing with someone's assertion that green is the best colour is fine, but taking the mickey out of them for spelling it wrong when they have declared that they have dyslexia isn't. Disagreeing with everything that they say as a form of harrassment in a gratuitously nasty, snide, sarcastic way (in the same way as has been done countless times) isn't. Mocking someone known to have dementia who says the same thing twice in error isn't.
