It says something about it isn't fear you are just an asshole. I can't see the picture on my phone after it prints. I hate the ignorance that makes people be mean to gays and lesbians.

I think it is more misinformation and misunderstanding that causes hate than 'fear'.

Maybe it's just not printing on mobile devices? I sometimes can't see the graphics. Sorry.

I agree though. Fear doesn't make you an asshole, being an asshole makes you an asshole.

Did it say this?

"I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an asshole."

bravenak and getting clarification. I appreciate it very much. The last thing I want to do is create any of those pesky misunderstandings. I'm kind of a dork trying to show love and compassion. And you know the drill.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Sometimes jokes go over my head so I try not to get testy. It's hard around here sometimes. If you're a dork then I'm a dork. I love compassion.

Whatever you're doing to show images it's not working. Can you simply post a URL to all the images?

most phobias due to the fear aspect tends to stem from fear of homosexual tendencies within themselves that turns into outward hatred towards open gays.
Although I can see the humor in Morgan's statement. I like Morgan Freeman so much, glad to hear he's a LGBT supporter.
