people who don't like homosexuals hate people talking about homosexuals. the WHY IS THIS NEWS!? comments are what they are left with now that flamboyant bigotry is unacceptable in even most "right" circles.
It's talk like this that prevents any constructive comments in a discussion. When you just come out and accuse me of hating gay people it just ends any intelligent conversation that could have happened.
I don't hate homosexuals and in fact, I don't think there's anything wrong with being gay. The only thing I don't agree with is the active sexual lifestyle of a gay person, just like I don't agree with the active sexual lifestyle of unmarried straight people.
Sorry if i've offended anyone.
i don't doubt that you are a nice person, but do you really not see how "i don't agree with the lifestyle" comes across? in two sentences you say there's nothing wrong with it, except for when they actually do it. you seem to consider all gays sex-crazed nymphomaniacs which is just kind of a backwards way of thinking.
and if you really don't have a problem with it, then how can you not appreciate the significance of active athletes finally being able to be open about who they are?
