        I think it’s silly. People should be able to love who they want without fear of judgement from people who are homophobic. Being homosexual isn’t hurting those people so why do they have a problem? I just don’t understand it.

        Homophobia is quite sad, I think that most people are afraid of things they don’t understand. Being abusive to someone because they are different from you or because you don’t understand them is unnacceptable.
        I think it is everyones job to stand up against homophobia, as well as abuse against religeous people, ethnic groups and all of these things that people mark out as different. Diversity is a big advantage within communities and species (think in terms of evolution) so I think we should all try to celebrate and understand our differences rather than be afraid of them.

        Ridiculous, in both the literal and commonly accepted usages of the word.
