If you want to be a "technical" asshat and call me a homophobe because I "disapprove" of homosexuality....be my guest.
Personally, I save the homophobe moniker for people who have a little more extreme feeling toward gays. Yeah, I disapprove of homosexuals. I also disapprove of tomatoes. Doesn't mean I'm scared of them, or have a fear of them, or am hostile towards them, or show them hatred.
