364. this man is a poltical adversary
and not, i am not "tolerant" of people, like him, who think i have no right to live as a full citizen because i am a lesbian...call me crazy :eyes: this is no mere "difference of opinion"...and you SHOULD know that. i am no more "tolerant" of the "different views" of homophobes than i am of the "different views" of racists...they are a symptoms of the same disease, imho. the point of david_77 original post is about politics...and at least he believe the tactic of "outing" might help stop the current homophobic attacks on gay adoption, among other things. as to whether that is or is not true or not...i don't know. i still am not opposed to using the tactic, in this case, since the stakes are pretty high. and as i mentioned, since i don't grant homophobes the "right" to be homophobic in a manner that limits my rights i have not the least bit concern about whether this offends the ethics of those who think homphobes have the right to limit my rights to full citizenship. eom
