But, I don't thing we need to be carrying out a witch hunt over an off the cuff comment she made. She didn't say I think gay people are disgusting. She didn't personally attack anyone. She didn't use any unwarranted language. She just said "don't be disgusting". With a sneer granted, but even if she did mean it as a horrible slight to all gay people.. that's fine! She is allowed that opinion! What she is not allowed to do is use that opinion to discriminate someone. To bully or hurt. Until she does that everybody needs to chill the ******* out.

Not "agreeing" with it is by definition what homophobia is. She dislikes it and is prejudiced against those people.

That's right,which is why her comment was inappropriately addressed as to the questioner,, in my opinion.

Ann just doesn't like PDAs either Gay or Straight.

Not too hard to understand, is it?
