I will include the (full) quote that I assume you are referring to:



Certainly no reference to hate there anywhere...

The fact that someone is a priest, a rabbi or the pope has nothing to do with it. In my opinion someone in such a position of power over others must take the responsibilty themselves to choose their own words carefully.

And the point is that all of the comments I quoted are negative about gay people wearing kilts- why?! It makes no bloody difference. Why is that so hard to swallow?
I was referring to your depiction of Zardoz's comments. But whatever, I've had enough. The fact that people can't speak honestly about a subject without being accused of being hateful is just stupidity. It's dismissive and ad hominim and never addresses the actual subject at hand. I've explained the reasoning behind distinguishing between the sexual orientations. But you want to equate differentiation with discrimination and hate. So I think there's nothing more that can be said of this. This has carried on for far too long as is anyway.
