@Darth_Algar:
You have said that I am not allowed to offer my take on this question. Your comment was upvoted twice, shame. Did you listen to yourself as you made that statement? You have proven one of my points. That Fluther isn’t necessarily a place for honest debate. What other speech or language out there would you just have categorically shut down?
Your comment was unhelpful to the point it should be modded. But don’t worry. I won’t be the butthurt Flutherite that flags it.
@hominid:
You asked what my position on homosexuality is. I was not quick to say because I believe my perspective should have to do with my convitcions, not my behavior.
But I have created a furor here because, like I also stated, I have not fallen lockstep into the mentality parade of nearly everyone else in this thread.
So… just what is my position on homosexuals? Well, sometimes on top of them, sometimes underneath or behind. My sexual orientation does not fall at one extreme of the Kinsey Scale or the other.
I’m going to characterize my feelings about the term “homophobic” one last time with this final comment. I’ll put it a different way:
Words such as “homophobic” are nothing but pure dogwhistle. There, said.
“But, but, that can’t be true!. Only the Right gets accused of using dogwhistle language!!
Perhaps it’s true that only non so called progressives (another such word) get called out for using words with hidden meanings. Perhaps that can now start to change.
@ragingloli:
The scientific meaning of the word “phobia” doesn’t apply here as science is pure, and does not judge.
