I guess the proper term would be "Queerophobic?" ;-)

Or "Queerodisgustic"?

Might I ask why "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is okay but "That's so gay" is not?

Actually, you are both right. "Homo" is both a Latin and Greek root. The Greek root means "same" (i.e. homosexual, homogenous), and the Latin root means "man" (i.e. homocide, homo sapiens).

My objection with the word "homophobia" isn't with the homo part, but the phobia part. Phobia means an irrational fear. I'm sure there actually are some people that suffer from literal homophobia, but today the word "homophobic" is applied to anyone that doesn't kowtow to the homosexual agenda.

I don't recall ever telling anybody here that I'm pro-gay. Some people may misconstrue my comment as being leftist/pro-gay/whatever, but it was really intended to be pro-discussion. After all, that's what we're here for (I hope).

I made the comment that I did because I made an assumption about a previous post. I don't remember who said it, but what I thought was meant by it was that heterosexual acts are good because they make children and homosexual acts are bad because they do not and cannot make children. By this logic, mowing the lawn is also bad -- doing so cannot make children. I was wrong to assume this was the reasoning behind the previous post.

You haven't been here long enough to lecture anybody on why where here. I looked at your posting history. This isn't the first time you've come to the defense of assclowns. Read the charter: We have no tolerance for pro-homosexual sentiment here.

Plus, you observation was nonsensical (as was pointed out by several other posts on this thread).

All of us from the North end of Vancouver Island always figured those at the south end, especially Victoria were a little weird... this just goes to prove that point...

Though I can vouch that there are several "Vanilla" and "too-many-girlie-drinks" lesbians at the North end of the Island... It's just Chic for them to "try-bi"...

A trend on the internet is to say, "That's so ghey!" I finally asked someone, and they said, "Ghey doesn't mean gay. They're totally different. We say ghey because we don't want to offend homosexuals."

So, they like the phrase, but it doesn't satisfy their need to be PC. How ghey/gay/queer is that?

I haven't lectured anybody; I merely stated the hope that the people who visit and comment on these boards are here for conversation and debate. If you guys are more interested in a safe haven for conservative thought where little debate occurs and everybody can say exactly what they're thinking without fear of having to defend themselves, then I apologize for not following the wishes of the group. What entertains me may not be what entertains you all, and it's not my place to try to change anybody, to force the rest of you to deal with my desires, or to make judgments about which is better. If it turns out that my personality doesn't fit in with what the rest of you want, then I won't bother you anymore and I wish you all the best.

How would they have reacted to "Smear the Queer" we played in elementary school?

My thoughts exactly, but since dodgeball is taboo now, smear the queer would definitely float like a lead balloon.

Buying a new car doesn't produce children.

Maybe not, but as long as you don't buy some weenie hybrid car, it can definitely lead to activity that DOES produce children.

What do you have against activities that don't produce children?

Maybe nothing against all those other activities, maybe just single minded. You know they produced the results of that study that said the average male thinks about sex every 15 seconds or something like that. :-)

Kids, from now on you have to say "That's so gay - not that there's anything wrong with that"

hahaha, thinking of the "Not that there's anything wrong with that" episode of Seinfeld.

The campaign is already meeting its goal of raising awareness, says Beresford.

...and for those who don't meet the goals, there's always:

True. We really should come up with a better name for those of us who simply resist the homosexual agenda being rammed down our throats.

This is merely another attempt to homosexualize children.

Exactly!
