Although homophobia is nonesense, and should be right up there with racism and flat earth theories as something that should have withered on the vine years ago, we still have gay bashers and rascists

I can see no reason (as in "rational") why this should be so ... nor can I see any reason why those who vote for a particular type of political party ... the more righter, the more bigoteder ... or practice a certain type of religion (usually extreme), or live in a certain part of the world (Middle America

) should be more likely to be homophobic than folks from Montreal. I think Garinda is right; some folks is just born thick as ten short planks.

You are trying to tell me that the earth isnt flat next you will be saying that the moons not made of cheese

Ok.

Whatever floats your boat.

Some could read it as juvenile, not relevant, out of context, or even just offensive.

Did both your parents wear silly little hats, have tattoos, and play the guitar?

You thought 'as gay as a lord' was as good as any?

Ok.

Proves the point.

Stupidness, like sexual orientation, is genetically preordained.

I personally think that as long as the child is safe, looked after and brought up to be a decent person what does it matter if they have same sex parents.

As said in previous posts kids will pick on other kids for anything. Its the way of life.

All these familys that you read about that have a Mum & Dad that abuse and mis-treat thier children is the worry not whether same sex parents should have the right to bring up a child.

Well, I'm about ready to draw a line under this. Was just seeing it from a different angle and don't think I said anything particularly homophobic, because I'm not!

Sorry.

Scrub that.

I've just noticed it's a headscarf, with a pretty print of Leylandii on it.

Not a silly little hat.

What was the description of a boy as 'gay as a lord'

Besides nonsense.

Was it relevant to the discussion?

As well as giving so much detail as to where he lived, what his parents did, the sex of his sibling, that you might as well have named him.

Probably wise.

(If that's not too ironic.)

The "as a lord" may have been unneccessary. He was a adult when I was a boy.
