Kudos to the smart homophobes, but most of them ARE just ignorant idiots who are homophobic by default. Like I said, these are the people who never read the bible but activley tell people the bible condemns homosexuality.

On a basic level, screwing all the eye for an eye and freedom of speech bullshit, non homophobic people are more open minded than homophobic people, so I have no problem with people saying homophobes are disgusting. Most of them are. Not all, but most.

Its the same as people saying ''its their law and we have to respect that'' when talking about the discrimination and severe punishments in middle eastern countries. Soverign state or not, **** that. We still have the right to say they are absoloutely wrong.

Im not respecting unjust things just because Im told to or because ''its their right''.

That can easily be turned back around onto the argument in a bad light. If its fine for people to say that people are immoral for doing something thousands of miles away that doesn't affect you in any way, why is that any different to claiming being gay is immoral when 5% of the UK population (about 3m people) are thought to be gay despite it not affecting their life in any way?

It is not that some do not like people who may be of a certain orientation, just that for religious reasons, they are not able to condone their lifestyle choice.

I'm sure there are a few on the forum, I've reported quite a few posts for the use of offensive gay terms, which I do find offensive [as a gay male]

I personally find most gay terms offensive [fag, **** etc], and obviously I'm totally against homophobia [having received abuse in the past]

There's never any need to use someone's sexuality against them.

I don't see the point in being homophobic just for the sake of it (ie insulting someone just because of that) but as someone who is gay can you personally see why people might be homophobic towards you for (example) religious reasons and think there is anything wrong with that?

...huh?
care to elaborate, I don't get your point.

&Tom, I can see why people would be against it and although I'll admit I don't like it, but I'll accept it as long as it's not harming/offending anyone? There's a difference between having a negative opinion on homosexuals, and displaying acts of abuse towards them because of that opinion. So yeah, I can see why people could be homophobic and I'll accept that up until it starts turning into abuse.

Wow, I'm not even gay and I was offended reading the posts against Darenn. Tom has often contributed good posts that I've agreed with but I'm surprised that he would post something that is, in my opinion, homophobic. Personally I think Callum just isn't very intelligent but I really am surprised at Tom's post. Homophobia has nothing to do with religion, and I say that as an Episcopalian who supports equal rights for gays.

I know a few people that makes jokes but usually all in good fun.

I dont have a problem with it.

I am not homophobic in any way. I get annoyed when some people I know are, I get so fustrated, I shouted at my friend for being out of order... he then stopped.

Its fine if your homophobic, thats what people are like, they should keep it to themselves, but going around in public and dissing gay people just annoys me soo much.
