I used to hang around the CarToday.com discussion forums a couple of years ago, then drifted away because it became too unpleasant. I occasionally wander past, though, and today's visit produced this:

A news article is posted on the board about a Sicilian driver whose licence was suspended because he was gay.

And thus the fapping begins.

The Ranger weighs in with:

First, why can a person be openly gay, but its wrong to be openly anti-gay? BTW, it usually doesn't mean you're anti the gay person, just anti the gay lifestyle. I think if you agree with freedom of choice, then you cannot complain against someone's choice of being anti gay-lifestyle...

Also, why can a person not be just anti-gay, instead of homophobic. I am sure an anti-gay person does not fear gays, just disagree with the lifestyle, for whatever reason...

Let's say in another context person a is a nudist. I am anti nudism. Does that make me nudistphobic? Didn't think so. Homophobic is a word designed by less progressive gays, to give themself a feeling of being feared...

... and then continues his winning streak with:

Anti-semitism goes much deeper than being anti-gay. You do not find anti-gay's putting gays in concentration camps or desecrating graves...
And I am not an anti-semitismphobic because I do not condone the anti-semitism lifestyle...There are lots of people openly anti-jewish, they are not anti-semitism, just Christians, or Muslims, or Budhists, or whatever, they just do not believe in the jewish religion (or way of life for that matter)...

Plus the usual:

"I am friends with a few gay people, they know I do not agree with the lifestyle, but they certainly do not think I fear them, or am about to attack them.."

(Concentration camps and "I have gay friends" on the same page from the same poster! Bonus points!)

Others chip in:

GC: "I dont like gay's, as a matter of fact I find their antics revolting."

Gauss: "Politically correct? BAH! I'll say what I like to who ever I like. Poor Gay bastards has got the whole world in a twist over BullShit! Moffies. Ag shame!"

And some ... er, I'm not sure what, and I don't think anyone else does either ... from jdhaus:

"Modernity 101 people. Your figuration of Homosexuality is not only ignorant in my opinion, sice I am entitled to one, but shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the manner in which heterosexual culture figures homosexuality as the "other" of heterophobic import. To equate homosexuality as an abhorrence is simply not on. Further, one can't justify criticising homosexuality on the basis of biblical rhetoric, considering that the texts spouted as proof are rather vague: thus, any meaning is subject to conjecture/interpretation, particularly since contemporary understanding and figuration of homosexuality (specifically the strict association of the preference as being inseperable from the sexual act, an untenable link at best) is a relatively recent construct arising from the Modernity and its attendant, the Enlightenment.
This understanding has also been shaped by interaction with mediary texts, and thus is not accurate.
My R5 on the matter, but shouldn't this be in the non-motoring forum?"

There's even a little religious wanklet, which gets Mr Say What? a little worked up:

You're an atheist pig.... why dont u go stick your dick in your C2's flange and get off...
fuckin idiot.

It would be funny if the stupid didn't BURN so much.

Edit: Well, this went from two pages to five pages in a couple of hours. The highlight of the rest:

S/A\V: "I've never met a woman who thought male queerness/interccourse/kissing was a turn-on."

Edit, Part Deux: The Ranger brings more batshit-crazy:

"Can I get the same rights as gays? I demand being able to share bathrooms with people of the gender I prefer, women, like gays can share bathrooms with us....

This thread made me realise how many issues I have, I will try and list some of them, the list could get loooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggggg. I am a homophobic because I dislike gay sex. I also do not like roses. So I am a rosephobic. I also have these phobias:

Roastturkeyphobia, whitecottonpantyphobia, mpvphobia, mugabephobia, crimephobia, jenniferlopezbuttphobia, maltesepoodlephobia, whitecanopyphobia, 'ringtimephobia, williamsf1phobia, teaphobia, mouldybreadphobia, s&mphobia, kloosterkoekphobia, marthinusvanschalkwykphobia, tuscanystylephobia, greenbeanphobia, drugphobia, lobsterphobia, acdcphobia, trafficcopphobia, zumaphobia, trumanphobia, bluebullphobia, tripephobia, etc...."

(Oddly enough, he left "idiotphobia" off. Tsk tsk.)
