[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 694835, member: 60724"] Fred, gotcha. I find the term “homophobe†offensive and really not helping the gay agenda. I think it does just the opposite of what it intends. I assume it is intended to be a label that defines those given it as having a mental defect...a phobia, and is also considered to imply ignorant, hate filled intolerance. The gay and lesbian population would do better to recognize that for many, homosexuality is a morality issue. Morality and social norms are defined by society and change over time. Vilifying those that are slower to change with the times, or think along the lines of the majority and not with the shifting minority no doubt sounds a rallying call, and forces many in that majority to "dig in their heals" and to be vocal about making sure things don't change. Understanding the attitudes of both sides is better than vilifying each other, IMHO. Telling people that they are wrong for feeling the way they do doesn’t really institute change. TJR [/QUOTE]
