    I call them f*cktards.

    Anyone who would discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation is a horrible excuse for a human being in my book. Why can't we all just live and let live?

    ..homophobia? it really is the basic time period.... "Homophobia is a time period used to seek suggestion from countless adverse attitudes and emotions in the route of lesbian, gay and in certain situations bisexual, transgender human beings and behaviour, even with the actual undeniable reality that those are frequently lined less than different words which comprise biphobia and transphobia." "he time period "homophobia" is observable in serious and negative habit which comprise discrimination[a million][2] and violence on the theory of a perceived gay or in certain situations any non-heterosexual orientation."
