[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sioni Sais: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Pancho: [qb] What is exactly being considered "homophobic" here? It think that word gets used to label any view that departs from a certain general consensus on the subject by people on the (far?) left and if it used this way on the Ship the Ship is bound to become even more of an echo chamber. I must also say that, in my personal experience of posting as a shipmate, not everybody's personal experience is valued equally. [/qb][/QUOTE]Far be it for me to take up the cudgels for Gays and Lesbians (and others), but I think they can spot homophobia pretty accurately, in the way that Jewish people can detect anti-Semitism. Moreover they can do this pretty much anywhere, whether on a left(ish) online forum like this, from a pulpit or in a newspaper. In short, it's their call. Sometimes attempts are made to reduce its importance by describing it as "banter" or "having a laugh" but at the most charitable it is bullying and harassment. [/QB][/QUOTE]
