Maybe it would be nice if some of the more entrenched homophobes could stop to consider how other people must feel sometimes. Unfortunately most phobes of any sort do not take ANY time to consider ANYTHING, they have entrenched views which they don't even think through and consider it their right to spout them. They are called boors. This applies equally to the homophobe as to the racist, a vile species I challenge when I encounter them. I don't think I will ever change them but those looking on may decide that the racist I am challenging cannot put together a cogent case for their views.
Before the flaming happens, my wife agrees.
