Wow - I didn't realize there were actually people this ignorant
around.  

Are you actually going to tell me that you think equating an entire
subset of the population, several of whom I would imagine belong to this
mailing list, as bad is acceptable?

There's a huge difference between calling somebody stupid (an
intentional, direct, and targeted insult) and equating people who are
gay with being bad, or negative.

I would have thought that being a participant in a community that
promotes openness and inclusion would cause one to be less
exclusionary.  :/
