Hateful and discriminatory seems like a decent line to me To me, you sound like the thought police. In my moral code, we're entitled to think what we want, and nobody has any business condemning us based on our thoughts. The line is our actions: if we do something to someone as a result of our thoughts, that crosses the line. I've said to a few gay friends that I personally think that homosexuality is gross; but I also think that broccoli is gross. The fact that I feel that way doesn't have anything to do with the way I view them as people, and certainly not how I treat them -- not any more than my distaste for broccoli affects my relationship with eaters of broccoli. And everyone I've talked about this attitude with seems to think it's a perfectly reasonable one to hold.

>> Hateful and discriminatory seems like a decent line to me > To me, you sound like the thought police. You sound like a dishonest jackass, or someone who can't bother reading to the end of the single line post he's responding to, which reads: >... but hey, its a judgement call. Decide for yourself. Which is essentially the opposite of being "the thought police." Also, it's great that gay people are cool with you thinking broccoli and their sexuality are gross. You should tell that story again, bro.

You and Scott Card are both entitled to your own opinions and moral beliefs. And I am entitled to call people who spout anti-homosexual hate speech homophobes on the internet. Furthermore: if Scott Card's stated opinions on homosexuality were as.. mellow.. as yours, then you wouldn't see me caring quite so much. I'm not sure why you're defending yourself when I'm talking about Scott Card...
