Nobody who is worth taking seriously is going to take those steps to begin with, IMO.
Then you don't read anti-gay tracts.

well, true - those comics don't follow the form

but the 'real' brochure tracts that make the rounds all follow the rules!

And I like you too, Myt. Next time I am in Wyoming, or you are in Chicago, we have a date with a pool table and a few beers. I'll ditch the wife for the evening, and we can go ogle chicks together.

When we're talking about this particular subject, the root of it really IS sexual attraction to the same gender. Hence.. the word "homosexuality."

Yes, all the love and romance and bonding for life and holding hands and skipping through a feild of butterflies in a basically non-sexual way is wonderful. But let's face it... what (in the general sense) makes you horny dermines who (the specific person) you fall in love with. So, with this whole two-gender, sexual reproduction thing going on.. some find it a bit "off" that a few people get horny over their own gender.
I agree with you here, with my emphasis added. As long as people realize that this is the root of the issue, and just a tiny part of the whole issue, I'm OK with it. I mean, our lives and relationships are no more "all about sex" than yours. (I should be so lucky!)

The field of butterflies takes up a LOT more of our time than the sex does. The way we live is not much different from the way you live. I don't drive my daughter to school, pay my taxes, or play Scrabble in a gay way, any more than you take out the trash, water your plants, or do your laundry in a straight way.

The differences in our lives, honestly, are just not worthy of the homophobic stink that has been made about them. Applying just a bit of logic like this, I honestly don't know why anyone finds it to be a big deal.

I have seen all the tactics on this list used equally well and equally frequently by people of all political persuasions, on pretty much all topics.

I can't imagine why the author thought these were particular to "Liberals."
I would say they are particular to lazy debaters (and I admit to using them myself sometimes).

I don't think it matters. I just speak what on my mind and I didn't even know there was a template to follow. Maybe I ought to try to use it and see what happens.

I wish I was good at shooting pool, but I keep mishitting the cue ball. I should stick to bowling and my 184 average. I rolled a 583 series on Friday night, about a 195 average. But I hardly drink a brew, though.

Hell, the pool date sounds like a hoot.

Yes, people make too big a deal of of "it," I think.
