Re: homophobia (not really limited to that)

Peter, the point I am trying to make is that you would NOT make such 
statements about a straight relationship.  It would not be anything like 
such an issue to you, for instance, to find that your straight friends were 
indulging in anal sex.  You would not dare question the bedroom behaviour of 
your straight friends.  Yet you and your kind seem to have an astonishingly 
detailed interest in what goes on behind the closed doors of your gay 
friends and a very gratifying interest in their physical well being - many 
of who don't even practice anal sex at all.

To do this on  the basis of a very few proof texts of which the meanings are 
unclear is not helpful.
