I have gay friends that are in a magickal group known as the Fairies. It's a term of endearment.
Interestingly enough in retrospect, my own bout with homophobia (which like yours was also partialy culturaly influenced) also involved a homosexual pedeophile. When I was 13, my parents were divorced and for a while I had a "Big Brother", he took me to concerrts, skiing and other fun things. One day will swimming in a pool together and wrestling he started going "I am going to grab your balls" and started trying to grab my nuts. I never even realized at the time that this was not exactly healthy play. Luckily things never preceeded past that and as I started to clue into the fact that this guy was a homosexual and was making suttle adavances at me, and as a result, combined with the negative stereotyping of homosexuals by Western Society, I developd homophobia, and that mental construct became entrenched for sometime.
It was becoming a cannabis activist that brought Gays back into my social circle, and I have a lot of deep respect for what they have collectively overcome and accomplished as a culture within a culture.
"See, I'll fight the drug war my way and you can fight it your way and we can make damn sure we both never meet.
I like that plan just fine."
Where is the Love Mr. Lonely? Feel free to look me up if you ever make the pilgrimage to the promised land.

"And I uttered the word faggot when I was 13 in the movie theatre when some pervert homosexual tried to feel me up. It was well deserved on that particular homosexual's part." Only the most fucked-up of people judge an entire community by their worst examples. Anti-jewish folks do that all the time: Oh, it is sad, very sad, that once more, for the umpteenth time, the old truth is confirmed: "What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/anne_frank.html

I agree David.
And when the press went to war on Andre Boisclair, and i see the Jean Charest Liberals are taking shots at him, where was Chris Buors?
Why he was right there is Andre's corner, because Chris Buors is big enough to put minor bias's past the better interests of the drug using community.
This guy is using cocaine. How many people you figure there are in Canada with the knowledge of ceremonial drug use capable of going to the man's defense?
I figure two. Alan Randell and I because we are both Szaszians.
So, David, I have judged that homosexual worthy of my support, despite the fact that I am not happy about his sexual preferances.
So, Chris Bennett said that he did not support Boisclairs politcal position and therefore would did nothing to defend Boisclair.
I, on the otherhand, besides understanding that the threat of seperation is the only power a province has to hold the Federal government responsible, could care less what the man's politcs are. I am pleased to discover that the man is a fiscal conservative from the more right wing of the PQ. But I did not know that when I first wrote on his behalf.
And, to boot, when they were saying nasty things about Chris Bennett at smalldeadanimals, i didn't let the fact that Chris is more left on the spectrum than I stand in the way of putting in a line or two in his defense.
So we all have our own biases and our character flaws, not to mention moral lines we will or will not cross. That's what makes us people.

Morality works any way you want it to work. Crackhead...is that an unfair stigma? What do you think of posters who make make these types of comments? Quote:
From Wodan
Just a reminder big·ot (b?g'?t) n.
One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
At some point you have to stop searching for shills like Scientologist Ssazs, when you have to dig up someone who believes that the reason you are so fucked up is that you are 'possesed by alien beings' you have some serious issues.
Now that would seem to be intolerant of Scientology. He slags the whole religion and anybody that Scientologists use to bolster their beliefs.
I called him a bigot by his own definition.
Any comment on that while you are educating me on how bigotry works?

"Morality works any way you want it to work." You might feel that way. But nobody gets to be a bigot in one area because they attacked bigotry in another area. For example, the Nazis often attacked allopathic medicine for being toxic bullshit, which I think is "the right thing to do" - but it doesn't excuse them from their other actions. "Crackhead...is that an unfair stigma?" The crackheads I know generally would prefer opium, and aren't proud of their affiliation with crack (do you know of any proud crack activists?) ... they invite their own stigma. I still don't think they should be discriminated against. What do you think of posters who make make these types of comments? Quote: From Wodan Just a reminder big·ot (b?g'?t) n.

"Now that would seem to be intolerant of Scientology." I didn't know Szasz was one of those parasite crazy fuckers. Scientology is worth slagging - if you bother to do any research on the subject you would agree: http://www.pot-tv.net/archive/shows/pottvshowse-2145.htmlhttp://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-2144.htmlhttp://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-2112.htmlhttp://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-2111.htmlhttp://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-2150.htmlhttp://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-3056.html "He slags the whole religion and anybody that Scientologists use to bolster their beliefs." They're anti-cannabis activists. You should look into them before you defend them. They're totally worth slagging. "I called him a bigot by his own definition." His "bigotry" is very, very justified - unlike yours. "Any comment on that while you are educating me on how bigotry works?" Calling all homosexuals "immoral" is not justified, because most of them are harmless and helpful beings - thus they are "moral". Dissing all scientologists is justified, because they are all - without exception, part of an anti-cannabis money stealing cult that was TOO WEIRD EVEN FOR MICHAEL JACKSON.
