I wouldn't go that far. I am simply amused at the fact that the left loves to drag out the APA in support of homosexual behavior being a "normal" expression of human sexuality,
yet they also love to use such a terribly misnamed term that the very same APA does not support as an actual clinical diagnosis. It's simply a slanderous and bigoted term used to stamp out the opposition.Last edited by Tassman; 09-20-2014, 04:45 AM.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Hence, as previously said, “Homophobia” by definition implies irrational negative connotations which can result in discrimination and persecution in much the same way the ”N” word can."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

That explains a lot.
Thanks for the textbook examples of logical fallacies, BTW. You've just about got the full set! Only a few more, I'm sure you can do it....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

The beliefs of a so called "homophobe" about homosexuality may or may not be irrational. But somone allegedly being a "homophobe" doesn't invalidate their beliefs about anything in particular. Certainly not when their status as a "homophobe" is in dispute. It is like calling someone a "Christophobe" and preceding to claim that everything they say about Christianity, Christians, Christ or the Bible is wrong and invalid on that basis alone.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostIf there’s no good reason for hating people then it’s irrational. And if such irrational hatred is acted upon (as per the 2010 Hate Crimes Statistics in the previous link) then it becomes a criminal offence. It's as simple as that....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

Originally posted by Tassman View PostNot irrational at all; essential in the case of Ebola for example.

Originally posted by JaymanThe case for the gay germ is somewhat indirect, but very strong. Critics often level the charge that there is “no evidence” for Cochran’s hypothesis – i.e., that the offending pathogen has yet to be identified. But the claim that there is “no evidence” isn’t really true; there is in fact plenty of evidence. The facts are certainly consistent with a pathogenic explanation, even if we don’t have the pathogen itself nailed down. But, the most compelling evidence comes in the form of ruling out potential alternative explanations. This itself is a form of evidence. The Sherlock Holmes quote, “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth,” is an excellent guiding principle, and is certainly valid here. As I’ve said before, there is something to be said for explanations, that, while maybe not conclusively proven, have the virtue in that they lack meaningful competition. This perhaps one of the clearest examples.

I have a question. When do I get to marry my toaster?"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)
