i don't believe theo hates chris, he just can't get with his lifestyle. what i actually admire about theo is that he has admitted to not accepting homosexuality but is not letting the fact that chris is gay interfere with his friendship with him. theo said that he likes chris, but not homosexuality and i can understand that.
and, i think chris is almost waiting for theo to "act up" so he can dig in his isht. i think he wants theo to say something or act out of aggression and intolerance for the homosexual lifestyle so that he can have the opportunity to plex.

so one is "standing by his convictions" while the other was "miseducated"??? The only difference between these two men is who they were taught to hate.
Like I said before, teh fact that he is talking about gays instead of blacks, whites or asians does not make it any less wrong.
That is the problem I have with religions sometimes- people will use them to justify any hatred or prejudice and feel like they have a righteous reason to be prejudiced.
