Homophobia sure has taken on a broad meaning hasn't it.
I don't sit around thinking of ways to discriminate against gays. I don't strive to be intolerant or to interfere with their lives. I don't force myself to gag when I see two guys make out.
I love how it is natural for two guys to be attracted to each other, but my vomit reflex is simply a result of a hostile and artificial attitude towards something I don't understand because of my Neanderthal nature.
Rewind like 3 pages to the whole hypocrisy thing. I've never debated the hypocrisy of such situations, and please stop including me and my fraternity in this. I'm not there anymore, nor did we ever take any stand on this issue. My point is and has been that hypocrisy does not preclude a group from legitimately considering morality when making membership decisions. We may let in somebody who drinks a lot, but not someone who abuses drugs. Is that hypocritical? Perhaps, yes. Lines are drawn in a multitude of places. Just because we see them as hypocritical doesn't mean a legitimate consideration of moral propriety wasn't included in the process.
