"I find it odd as well that the only objections come up when it is in the context of discussions about homosexuality ... not surprising coming from you but odd that the objections are so pervasive."

This part of your post seems to not about the subject X is discussing, homosexuality, but sort of a veiled personal attack on X, and an attempt perhaps to rehash ancient uglinesses.

While everyone is welcome to fiercely debate ideas or beliefs, personal attacks and snide comments are no longer welcome at Feelings.

I used the term "queer" in reference to "gay" a few years ago and there was a major meltdown by a few people on SI even after I pointed out that queer is perfectly acceptable by all in that particular community of those types of people.
