I think it is fine to call people racists and misogynists.

And I think it is fine to call people queer and homosexuals, especially because if that is what they are then that is what they are. (grin)

Sometimes it isn't true, but there's no harm in using the word.

Very well then. Sometimes it may not be true that someone is queer or a homosexual, but to me there is no more harm done by using these terms as there is in using the terms "racist" and "woman hater." All of these groups are defined by behavior - NOT by any innate characteristic. And people can be found in all these groups who falsely claim there is a genetic basis for their behavior.

Your actions are clearly based only upon your own personal hangups, and the only reason you've gotten away with it is because you've exploited SI gods who obviously are not smart enough to think the matter through. All of it lacks integrity.

Homosexuals are indeed queer to the majority of people on earth because what they do is contrary to human identity everywhere. It is by a cojoining of sexual bipolarism that humans come into being. Put another way, sexual intercourse reflects, more than any other human relationship, what we are at our most fundamental biological nature. We are comprised of female-male biological contributions. When a man has anal sex with another man and sets forth that queer relationship as a valid human identity, he presents a gross corruption of human nature and expects us to accept this falsehood. He is queer. When whole groups of such people do as this man has done, they are all queer. My calling them queer here is to do nothing more than reveal biological fact. Homosexuals are "strange" or "queer" because their chronic behavior is foreign to what humans are.

Is that offensive? Too dang bad. I didn't mean it to be, but sometimes the dang truth will be offensive to us. If you take issue with it, fight it with contrary ideas. But it is quite invalid (though it may work) to whine to gods who are so friggin' dumb even mortals can outhink them.
