Racism, Sexism, Homophobia.

[Violet]

No what stinks is your attitude mate.

"It's totally not ok to be racist. It's semi-ok to be a sexist. And for the most part, being homophobic is the norm."

Mind boggling.

That boggles your mind.... when immediately after it Syna said, "It's not right in any sort. It all stinks."

If this somehow still confuses you, to paraphrase: 'It is not okay in any sense to be racist, sexist, or homophobic: it's all bad.'

I don't agree with him of course, but I can at the least respect that opinion. I can see at least very valid reasoning for the first two, though one should always remember that exceptions exist. Homophobia is a phobia like any others... and while experiencing such is very much not fun: it could on occasion save one from something very bad by their POV. More likely, i think, to paralyze you when you need to run... but definitely possible.

Unfortunately, LGBT fights are more recent and haven't had the time to really sink into the public psyche, and there's that dratted "no homosexuals" clause in religion that makes it an even more uphill battle.

To be fair, there are also lines against women doing such things as wearing men's clothing (clothing is clothing much?)... so they had an uphill battle there. More important perhaps, is the fact that women are about 50% of the population... and LBGT something less.
