This has to be one of the most painful-to-read threads I've ever seen here, the mental gymnastics by some just blows me away. So much typing and effort to tell people "I don't care", "Flames should stick to hockey", "They should just keep it to themselves, but I support their right to love who they want", "The parades are too sexual" and "I'm not a homophobe, but..." It's so easy to see through crap like this, you're basically insulting people's intelligence with this nonsense. I almost respect full blown bigots more than these fence-sitters/strawmen-makers/trolls... at least they will point blank say what they think instead of dancing around their insecurities, discomfort and, yes, hate. If you were truly apathetic about this issue, you wouldn't even open threads like these. There is NOTHING to debate here. If you have anything negative to say, keep it to yourself or at least don't be shocked when others call you a homophobe when you parrot your sad talking points. Being called a homophobe isn't a personal attack if it's true. Why should everyone use kid's gloves when dealing with bigotry when it's the bigot initiating the 'debate'? Sometimes the truth hurts, deal with it.
