A perfect example of the Multiculturalist tactics I spoke of, if less blatant than "homophobe." And possibly advanced without a complete reading of the post.
I don't keep myself in a state of willful ignorance regarding gay rights movements, same-sex attraction as a physiological and psychological phenomenon, or the fact that our world is changing. I don't agree with Mezmo!'s "traditional" points of view either. I'm willing to refrain from smearing him with the label of "bigot" for holding them, however. Name-calling now substitutes for genuine argument to such an extent that meaningful discussions can no longer be held. Those who want our social clock to stay set at 1953 are about to be outvoted and lose their battle, a welcome development to me. But it's easier to call them "ignorant retards" than to explore why they held those views or why they were once a majority.
This isn't brain surgery here. I get what you are saying. My mom is still a Catholic and for a long time thought my atheism was a "phase". But we are not talking about people we personally know. We are talking about the collective climate that holds human rights back.
