here are some excerpts for those of you that dont wanna click
I am quoting as I would never say these things myself
"Can you imagine someone using a racial slur similarly? Computer won't work: "You damned ******. Why won't this darkie boot up?" They would be nailed to the wall."
"But no one thinks twice about bashing homosexuals."
"It goes to show how socially accepted and ingrained homophobia is in our society. Many of my friends, kind people who would never actively persecute someone, never think twice about using slang and slur for homosexuality to express their displeasure. "
"I can only imagine how insanely irritating it must be for a gay person to go through life hearing this constant barrage of homophobia. Worrying about getting fired from a job or beat by rednecks or condemed to hellfire by religious fundamentalists is enough to make one paranoid, but the constant unthinking use of deragatory words by one's own friends must be maddening."
IT IS BY THE WAY VERY MADDENING
"And no more of this bollocks about it being unnatural. Domesticated animals and plants aren't natural. Doesn't stop you from eating, does it?
Just because something is uncommon does not make it unnatural.
I'm not asking the whole world to accept or endorse homosexuality, because I know damn well it'll never happen."
"All I'm asking, begging, of you silly prejudiced people is BE TOLERANT, maybe even POLITE. You don't have to be friends with the scary gays and lesbians But you sure as hell shouldn't treat them like scum or criminals."
As Chris Rock says, Everybody has at least a gay cousin. It just doesn't make sense to insult those around you on a daily basis. You might just need their help one day.
Thanks for your time
