    Yes. But you would rather have vanillabecause there is no joy in chocolate for you. So why choose chocolate?

    Great, now I want some ice cream. Well done.

    "LogCabinRepublicans" doesn't appear to be in league with any pro-gay group. He seems very anti-gay to me. I could be wrong, but that's the way it appears to me.

    That was aimed at his use of the word "homosexualists" which I was as puzzled about as you.
    In other words, I made a joke. Didn't work too well.

    Wait a second- so first we have a "bible", but none of us have read it or heard of it?

    Welcome to ignore. You have nothing to contribute here, and I don't need to listen to anymore of your extremist BS.

    LOL. Sorry I didn't get it the first time around.

    It's a very peculiar and made-up word, most often used as a pejorative. The best I can determine is that it was coined by British writer Auberon Waugh who, among other things, said this:

    “I remember also speaking to a reporter on Gay News who enquired about my attitude to Gay Dogs and reassuring him of my compassionate attitude to homosexuality among dogs, while secretly feeling they ought to be whipped.”

    I guess I am secure enough with myself that there is nothing anyone could say on some internet forum that would upset me so much.

    Maybe it's a masculine thing then, who knows.

    I guess enough insecurity in their way of life would lead to them whining, calling names, and shouting down any opinion that doesn't align with theirs. Based on the posts here, I mean.

    Exactly like "homophobe" then.


    Anyway, I hear the word used when referring to people who tend to hyper-focus on the agenda of the homosexuals, and not so much "homosexuality" itself.

    The straight version often ending their defense of homosexuals with "not that I am one".

    Umm, no. People are using lies they tell about us to deny us civil rights. That's what pisses us off.

    And no, we're not going to shut up- not for you or anyone else. If your opinion also happens to be a lie, expect it to be challenged.

    Not exactly. Homophobe is common usage, Homosexualist is not. This is the first use I've seen of it. Maybe it's a British or Euro thing.

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/homophobe
    a person characterized by homophobia

    The comment was to this:

    "It's a very peculiar and made-up word, most often used as a pejorative."

    Which you said.

    In that sense there is no difference between the words.


    "Homophobe" is common usage because of who's using it, and why. And in that sense it is ridiculously overused. Not to mention incorrect.
    They are both in dictionaries so the fact that it's the first you've seen it means exactly nothing.

    "Homophobe" is in no way misused or overused. People who oppose equal rights for gay people are afraid of something with regard to gay people.

    They are afraid of same sex couples getting married.
    They are afraid that homosexuals are out to turn their kids gay.
    They are afraid that homosexuals want to make everyone gay.
    They are afraid that homosexuals want to destroy the family.
    And on and on...

    All of these fears are irrational of course, thus the word is quite fitting.

    That analogy generally sucks. How exactly would that relate to sexual-orientation?

    Most homosexuals are naturally that way and have no choice. But more and more people are claiming to be gay even though they are not. They want to officially be gay and have minority (special citizen) status so they can take advantage of the myriad benefits afforded to them by affirmative action. Noteworthy is the fact that they do not have to prove they are gay.

    Moreover, many well-endowed boys are claiming to be transgender in order to ogle and flirt with girls in locker rooms and showers. A survey conducted in California shows that most of the girls are okay with it.

    The only problem with gays is that they are in fact another minority to cope with and pay more taxes to accommodate.

    And all of them are Democrats.

    I am an independent gay libertarian who has never once voted for a Democrat, so looks like that claim is total bunk.

    Who is claiming to be gay? I am not aware that this is actually a serious problem. Typically gay people claim to be straight to avoid the negative social stigma associated with homosexuality.

    Disagreed. Homophobia is a recognized medical condition. "Homosexualist" is as screwy as saying "The Department of Redundancy Department".

    Why can't you wake up tomorrow and prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate?

    Now, can you choose to wake up tomorrow and choose to be male or female? Right handed or left handed? Taller or shorter? Heavier or lighter?

    Homosexualists who try to deny that there are people that are homosexuals who are heterophobic are usually the ones who are heterophobic themselves and they are are just in denial.

    Heterophobes are people who do not agree 100% with conservative Muslim, Jewish or Christian views, opinions, or behavior. This is exactly the opposite of what homosexuals claim which is this, right from The Homosexual Agenda as enforced by homosexualists:

    "It is acceptible to call people “Homophobic” or “Homohaters” if they do not agree 100% with homosexual views, opinions, or behavior." (page xxiii)

    I have no doubt there are haters all over the world. Most of them just need an excuse to hate.

    Proof of this claim please. I call absolute BS on this. You have no basis in reality for any of what you say.

    Indeed! I know of no special recognition or rights for homosexuals.
