i find it very interesting how certain people are taking offense to this thread very personally, almost as if it were about them. hmm...
what's that shakespeare line "the lady doth protest too much methinks"?
Do I take homophobia personally? You bet your ass, I do. Do I protest too much? I'm sure, given the stupidity of your original remark, that is where you'd like to shift the focus. Since my sexuality is already established here on the board, however, and everybody already knows this "lady" is gay, you are going to have to do much better than that if you hope to deflect attention from the fact you made the single most offensive and bigoted remark in this entire thread:
BigLittleMan said:gay people can be the biggest of hypocrites--"respect us even though we are disrespectful; accept us even though we aren't accepting; don't judge us even though we judge..." the list goes on.
Given the complete ignorance displayed here, I'd suggest my response was restrained.
The irony here, of course, is that I am actually a professor of Shakespeare. I happen to know what that line means in context. Not to mention that I can use capital letters.
