You know, I hear that sometimes when people hate something intensely and irrationally, that it's their way of subconcioulsly dealing with the same trait in themselves...


Oh, and if you're homophobic, maybe Joss Whedon shows aren't for you.

Quote:



NIGEL: Well, I'd like to know a little bit more about the Slayer and about both of you. Your relationship, whatever you can tell me.

(Tara and Willow share a quick alarmed look.)

TARA: Our relationship?

WILLOW: We're... friends.

TARA: Good friends.

WILLOW: Girlfriends, actually.

TARA: Yes. We're girlfriends.

WILLOW: (stronger) We're in love. Lovers. We're gay lesbian-type lovers.

NIGEL: (expressionless) I meant your relationship with the Slayer.

TARA: Um... just good friends.

You misuse the term homophobic. I am not afraid, I am disgusted, like dog shit on my shoe, not like a knife wielding maniac. As for the "can`t reject anything cuz that makes me one" argument, does that mean all the people who hate nazis ARE nazis? Just a quick example. Your thinking would mean no-one can object to anything. You addled liberal thinking may allow you to think the world would run well like that, but trust me, it won`t. Do you also think guns are the root of all evil? About ten percent of the population is gay, and growing. Did you buttphuckers forget about this silly little thing called evolution???? You can`t breed, so you must recruit. And, uh you were the ones to get violent first. As to the collective gasp, what is the difference between shooting someone, and running them over? Mine is a little quicker?

Even kindergarteners have figured out that a square peg can`t go into a round hole, much less into another peg. And I stopped watching buffy after that stupid little twist.

Is this enough to invoke Godwin's law? Please tell me the answer is yes...

I think people will be grabbed by it." - Ron Glass, on the pilot, during an interview with the Indianapolis Star

Good heavens, people! Please! To quote: "While we have an open policy concerning messages, please be civil when responding to others." Civility being one of the underpinnings of civilization--gee, the two words sound similar, don't they?--can we stick with polite exchanges? Please?

Inside every cynic there's an idealist desperately yearning to be let out, and when they are let out they're usually a real pain and cause all sorts of trouble. --Chris Boucher

Stereotype schmereotype! The VW Microbus is a fun-loving standard of tradition-flouters and free spirits everywhere! All orientations need apply.

Sir Looneytoon:

While you are certainly more than welcome to your opinion on any subject you like, and while the free expression of thought is encouraged here, please remember that when you do post here, you are doing so to a community, and that said community is populated with all kinds of people. I respect your personal views on homosexuality, though I certainly don't agree with them, however, there's really no reason to be disrespectful, rude, and harmful in word or action.

If you can't keep up a civil conversation, for all of your heterosexual superiority, then perhaps you should just move on to another topic.

Thanks,

Pandora

Heya, Panda! Long time no see. Miss ya at the Slipstream.

Panda's right - why should anyone else's sexual preferences matter a damn to you? :Rhea rolls her eyes:

I don't happen to share Panda's sexual preferences, but so what? There are sexual overtones of all shapes, sizes and preferences aplenty on Firefly. Why shouldn't everybody enjoy whatever turns them on? Doesn't cost any of us anything.

I DON`T care who you screw, but wanting to make half of fireflys crew queer is insulting to many people, and heterosexuals that disapprove of homosexuals far outnumber the gays and there supporters, however in the spirit of political correctness they must appeal to the minority, the majority be damned. THAT is what pisses me off. I don`t care if you are gay, just don`t flaunt it.
