Subject: "Ahem" yourself...

Reply to: Ahem. One reference to cocksmokin gaywads doth not "frequent" make. I was merely trying to counter Andrea's PC-fuzzy explanation of homophobia, which in line with current revisionist thinking characteristically puts all the blame for aberrant by Daividh
Anything which deviates from society's "norm" may be considered "aberrant behavior".

If you feel comfortable applying that term to homosexuals, then you should feel equally comfortable applying that term to religious and societal minorities in this country, as well. The Amish, for instance, are "aberrant".

However, I strongly doubt that your use of the term "aberrant behavior" for the Amish might convey the same negativity as your use of that term for homosexuals. Particularly with your reference to "blame" in the same sentence.

Oh, and one thing more...
