Before you jump to being so patronizing, I suggest you read carefully what people
write:
This is what I wrote:
"comments like this only add to the impression of homophobia that is quite strong in
your
posts regarding this matter.
For someone who is convinced he is not homophobic you give a very good impression.
Concern confined to the children would have left the other stuff about the lesbianism,
the
gay community etc out of it.
There are none so blind as those the refuse to see."
No where have I called you names nor accused you of having a closed mind.
As I am jnot the only one who has responded to you, why am I the only one you are
responding to?( at least as far as my mail box shows me)
