For the record, I don't think homophobes are mentally ill nor that they need locking up. They are just ignorant, uneducated and/or insecure people like the poster above me. It seems you put words in... just about everybody's mouths there.
Speaking of mental illness, I'm sure any psychiatrist would have a field day with your whacko conspiracy theories and protracted, inarticulate rambling. To say nothing of your internalised homophobia.
