105424, Back up offa me man...
Posted by tREBLEFREE, Thu May-10-07 02:13 PM
When I made that post about homophobia, my attempt was to understand a people and their beliefs, not ridicule them.

My main theory was that I didn't like the term "homophobia" because the deifinition of phobia to me is fear - and I don't fear homosexuals or what they practice. I don't practice it myself, but that doesn't mean I can't coexist with them.

I admit, I brought my religious opinions into the post, but in NO WAY did I condemn homosexuals for their lifestyle. The way Akon attacked me was as if I can't stand gays at all, and I took offense to that...
