And nature has been producing homosexuals since as far back as we know. Nature has been producing drunks, cancer victims, idiots and perverts since as far back as we know. No dang reason to claim all this crap is good and that we gotta use the force of law to make fokes accept it. We actually work very hard to free humanity of these problems because, like homosexuality, they are contrary to us. Nature approves of them, or they wouldn't exist. Nature approves of them like it approves of cancer and lunacy. No reason for our accepting them as human when clearly they are not. I've never banned nor advocated banning anyone. Don't i have a right to point out what i find obscene? You do it all the time. Yes. You do have the right. But I would think you would have more self-respect than to allow a petty reactionary to dupe you into thinking the use of the word “queer” is so heinous as to cause a guy to be banned from these forums. The fact is, the word, even as an “epithet” does not necessarily apply to homosexuals. JLA almost certainly was not directly hacking homosexuals even if he had them in mind as he used the word. He was clearly hacking the peace demonstrators. Yall is wrong, and there is just no defense of what X has done – especially since she herself has done worse right here on friggin’ SI. It is most dishonorable, Steve. Most dishonorable. And huff and puff as you will, you never use queer as an epithet. As I’ve said, that is ultimately just a matter of opinion. I don’t on this issue intentionally use the word “queer” as an epithet only because my doing so weakens my point (which is far more powerful than calling a few homosexuals “queers.”)
