You're implying that homophobia and homosexuality are simply two opposing ideals... (1)
They're not. One is irrational bigotry, the other a naturally occurring human trait. (2)
Whether a homophobe wants to push their views on others or not, doesn't legitimise homophobia itself. (3)

Not even for being gay, mind you (not that it'd be better), but because some people *thought* he was gay. He was still undeclared.

Have you read Fry Chronicles?

I got halfway though but had to stop cause his writing style made me like him less
I guess I can't recommend QI for you then. You'll notice from the book he's read the dictionary and thesaurus from cover to cover.
I like QI, because its not just him talking for 45 minutes :p
no, i don't think that i have. i'll look them up, thanks.

I allways refer to him as Sir or Lord. "Lord Fry of Norfolk", that sounds marvelous!

Also I think he's been in trouble for fraud or something before so he's not allowed to be honoured :(
