I read "homophobia" as daring to voice an intelligent opinion that bucks the opinion of the gay/liberal community, and being falsely labelled a "hater" of some kind, to undermine dismissively the logic and intelligence of those views.
No. You can challenge the opinions of the gay/liberal community as much as you like, and you can do it in a valid, fair, intelligent and even compassionate way.

But when you deny someone the right to do the same thing you can do, simply because they like having sex with someone of their same gender, then you are a homophobe.

Name-calling isn't usually your style, Dave.

I think I haven't been clear, sorry, Dave. Its not my style. I wasn't name calling. I was calling it as I see it. You'll note I hadn't been involved in the Christian debate - it had no interest to me until I read Batwoman's post. The comment was directed against the comment that "tradition and policy" should stifle the right to a gay marriage.
huh? Which post are you talking about? I've barly contributed to this thread becase DTWB has been doing a good job of explaining things, not to mention the fact that I keep missing everything. [wink]
