'Homophobia' gives the impression that people are afraid of gay behaviour and I've never met anybody who was.

I dunno, I've always seen the 'Backs to the wall lads' response as demonstrating fear.

Homophobe is the only word that seems to cover it, since 'Aggressively anti gay due to fear that they might be gay themselves' is just a tad cumbersome.

You really do have an over inflated opinion of yourself don't you?

If what you are saying is that you are deliberately posting simply to get someone to argue with you I believe that is the definition of a troll and I think... I think.... thats against the rules...

You mean like abuse and personal insults ? ;)

Hey lighten up and get yourself a pint.
If it pleases you to know, I've dropped quite a few clangers myself from time to time.
However I would never wish to get involved with some of the nastiness that was on here when I first began posting.
Lifes too short for that sort of nonsense.
