A. Conservatives are not lunatics
Conservatives are not necessarily lunatics. You're correct. Thank you for that important piece of trivia.
Could you apply your keen eye and share your extensive wisdom with regards to the words I actually wrote? Here they are again:
He said homosexuality is unnatural, insanity, an illness to be cured, compared it to pedophilia and bestiality. These are the words you'd hear from any typical blowhard conservative lunatic. B. I never said he wasn't offensive. I just said that it's his opinion.
Really? It was just an opinion? Wow, thanks for pointing that out. Because for a moment there, I thought he was channeling a higher authority and speaking on behalf of the Gods.
Now that you've popped in to remind us that his opinion is an opinion, shall we get back to scrutinising and pointing out the flaws contained in the words and sentiments that constitute his opinion?
Yes, the homo-illness view is scary because of things in the past.
It's not scary. It's stupid, annoying and wrong.
Fortunately, that's not the majority anymore.
... depending on which square foot of the world you happen to be standing on at the time.
And yes, the fact that he didn't say the f-word is better because it shows respect.
Respect? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I'd love to know who you suppose is filled with a sense of being a respected human being when they are called insane, diseased, perverted abominations of nature.
"Sure, he says that I'm mentally ill, that an essential and indelible part of the core of my identity is in fact a disease that needs to be cured, that my existence is an affront to the natural order, and does all this from a position of colossal ignorance, aggressive dogmatism and intense arrogance. But at least he respects me!"
Yes, you're tolerant of homosexuals we get it already.
I suppose I'd have to be, being pansexual myself. And being a person who extends treatment to all people consistently and believes rights should extend to all people equally. Call me crazy. Woohoo, totally insane. Somebody stop me.
But you're not very tolerant of someone with an alternate opinion.
If by "an alternative opinion" you mean something like the special brand of bigotry, pig-ignorance, unapologetic discrimination, and harmful myth-perpetuating misinformation expressed by Arman in this thread, then I am certainly extremely intolerant of that. Are you suggesting I should stop being intolerant of that?
C. You're wrong. The cornerstone of homophobia is...the phobia part.
Wow, such detailed and penetrating insight. I'm exposed. My arguments lay in tatters.
