Dealing with homophobia on Atheist Forums

[Skipper]

...these posters are complete fucking tools.

Yeah, fuck you too ya asswipe.

We are all different, it's what makes the world go 'round. To start the name calling because someone is different demonstrates, IMO, who the real 'tool' is here.

You're different than me, fine, we discuss our differances, explain the 'whys' best we can and as Adrian said, we all learn a little something.

What you posted is no different than if I were to come in here and post;
"Last week or so has shown me these boards have a fair few very homosexual members. Let them say what they want though, like Adrian says it brings it out for discussion and we can all learn new things and how these posters are complete fucking cock-sucking faggots."

Would anything constructive come of that? Why the fuck do you think it would be different posting what you did?

Thinking someone is a tool because they are a racist is wrong? Thinking someone is a tool because they are sexist is wrong? It's no different, I think you are a tool because you are clearly homophobic, for whatever reason.

And of course your example is different. You are name calling and abusing a group of people for the simple reason they are gay, something they cannot control. I'm calling you and others out for the fact the stuff you write is ridiculous and homophobic, something you CAN control.

these posters are complete fucking tools.

Says the genius who defines people who control their unreasonable fears into the same category as those who will be super paranoid about being around gays.

Really.

Bite me, you ideological freak.

I don't think it's idealogical to expect the people like you to catch up with the rest of the developed world in accepting people are gay, and leaving it at that. Homophobia is generally only a big deal in un-educated, religion driven countries. Of course it is an issue in any country, but over the last 30 years it has become much less so. Of course I may be wrong as I can only go on what I read online and via the news but America seems to me, to have lagged behind the rest of the western world in it's acceptance of homosexuals. Why this is I don't know, I'd guess it has something to do with the amount of time and influence religion gets in peoples lives over there. But again, I dont think it's idealogical to expect people like yourself to get over their dated views.
