What about semi-insignificant partial engorgement? I'm asking for a friend.
What does the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders have to say about so called "homophobia" anyway? Nothing "classic" I'm sure. That's your nouveau PC Poli-Sci (or is it Poli-Psycho science) head shrinker talk for the unhip to be square crowd. If you don't think "Mawage is what bwings us togetha... to be gay" then you must have a mental disorder. Kinda like the Commies locking people up for worshiping any God but the Almighty State.
You know. Or something. Or not.
I think this letter about Pulitzer Prize Winning Conservative Kathleen Parker pretty much sums it up.
I especially liked her answer to this letter:
Columbus, Ohio: Ms. Parker, congratulations on the Pulitzer. I have to agree with the other posters who say they don't always agree with you, but always enjoy reading your thought-provoking columns. I remember several columns you wrote in the 2003-2004 timeframe where you said you love gays, gay humor, your gay hairdresser, gay cousin, gay neighbors, etc., but felt that allowing gay marriage would result in lawsuits against churches and was against the natural order because male/male and female/female orders don't match nature's intentions.
Do you still feel this way or have your feelings evolved over time? I find it hard to say that the relationships of the gay people in my life are not as worthy of legal recognition.

If you have no gay friends or relatives, then why care? But if you do and you promote discrimination, what kind of person are you? Those are the important questions.
Well the trend is heading in the right direction IMO. I'm not that old and it's been only recently that just being gay was taboo all by itself. And more recent still that sodomy was against the law. (thankfully no longer the case, just a couple decades to late) Gay civil unions will happen on a national scale before to long (marriage too perhaps) Gays will openly serve in the military too, also in my lifetime for sure. (all opinion here)
I'm just wary that the pendulum not swing so far as to create a new class people to discriminate against as happens in Europe and Canada. That is, handing out a Scarlet H for a psudo-science diagnosis of what amounts to an opinion. (for such things as preaching a religious belief, supporting a proposition, etc)
