re: Yahoo article on Alfred Blue comments

Ok, I agree Blue's comments were probably not the greatest choice of words but why does anyone who disagrees with homosexuality get called ignorant, classless, narrow minded, etc?

I tolerate gays but I'm very much personally against the practice of homosexuality. My beliefs are my beliefs...I know plenty of gays (in fact have good friends who are gay and very aware of how I feel about their choices), I have sat down with several and listened with an open mind to aspects of their lifestyle. I guess I'm still narrowed minded for making the choice to think homosexuality goes against what I believe in.

Just because you do not agree with gays doesn't make you a homophobe. I'm not afraid of gays, just don't agree with them. I look at this the same as any other controversial issue...like smoking for example. I am not a fan of cigarettes...and because I'm not a fan, I don't go to smokers' bars, I don't sit outside at work in the smokers corner, and if someone lights up in front of me, I will politely walk away. Am I still narrowed minded for being against something that so many people live their lives doing and don't see anything wrong with it?

Get off y'all soap box for a minute...if someone doesn't agree with you, it doesn't make them ignorant.
