- Most of my gay and lesbian friends are not heterophobes, but the vocal majority,
- at least on this group, often come across that way. It would probably be a
- very effective technique if the tolerant crowd were also as 'loud'. As it
- is, you merely confirm the homophobic suspicious that "you're all trying

- an easy one to conclude for those who begin leaning in that direction initially.

- I expect it's a safe assumption that you don't want someone to attribute to
- all homosexuals the attributes of a few, even if that few is the most vocal,
- or even in the majority. Please extend that consideration to me and those
- like me who are actively trying to bring about equallity for all.
