An "affliction"? Spoken like a card-carrying homophobe. But we all know that.

Well, when one's mind is that small, one's world probably looks huge by comparison. So I can see where he gets his distorted sense of proportion.

Dr. Freud would like to award you a special cake he baked to honor your insight & wisdom. Brilliant!

Whoa, missed that one.
Just exactly what is an equal and alternative sexuality?
Can hardly wait.

Homophobe? You mean like President Obama? You have zero credibility on the homophobia front, mate, whether you changed your mind or not... and I would remind you that your own twisted and disgusting homophobia is up, hand-crafted, mounted and polished on the forum for all to see - unfortunately for you.

I was experiencing a little numbness in my legs. The doc said I needed to use them a little more rigorously. "Ass kicking", he said, "would be a suitable measure. Know any asses worth kicking?"

"Matter of fact, I do." says I.

So, Slick. I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! Better put a piece of plywood in the back of your BVDs, because your latest, undeniable (except for you) display of blatant, malicious, bigoted homophobia is a good place to start.

You've consistently shown your chops as an open, practicing homophobe, and this thread may have set an all time record for you. Oh yes, and you really need to get your head screwed on straight (after you've pulled it out of your butt, that is). I can't be a homophobe and a heterophobe at the same time. Make up your mind. And come out of the closet.

See? Be careful what you ask for. This "diehard" has come out of "exile" to remind you that this forum is not your private toilet wherein you can crap on anything that doesn't jive with your sanctimonious, sphincter-activated world view without having it rammed right back down your elongated throat.

Ain't you glad I'm back, Honey? Didja miss me?

"Essentially because homosexuality is an affliction affecting a small minority of persons rather than an equal and alternative sexuality."

Left-handedness used to have a very similar description. Heck the percentage of people "afflicted" by it is even around the same number. And it was discriminated against. There are still a number of arguments that could be made for suppressing left-handedness. It still is suppressed in some places. I have little doubt you would have been among those who argued against it and punished accordingly. Unless of course you were left-handed, then you might see their side of things.

Yeah left-handedness was mischaracterised as an affliction because the left hand is just as useful as the right... no afflictions are more to do with deviations from the norm incurring disbenefits, like allergies, epilepsy, stammering, haemophilia, homosexuality... things like that.
