This is a great topic. I really gave this some though, because I am at times guilty of not being as politically correct as I could be.
Oddly enough, I was thinking about a Boy Meets World episode (I love that show). And Cory, for those of you who know the show, calls his friend Shawn a wop. Of course Shawn gets upset, but no one else in the class does. Cory goes on to say that when someone calls someone else a name, it is not cool that just that person gets upset. If someone makes derogatory statements about a group, it is not cool that just that group gets upset, because that is what allows that kind of thought to propogate. We have to all get upset and all stop it.
HOmosexuality is an individual choice. I neiher judge nor condone it, for its not my place. But people should be free to live their lives as they see fit with out fear of perscution, either physically or verbally.
Thanks lastpoetnsite for giving me something to think about.
