And, as we all know, trying to convince someone of anything different from what they currently think or feel is a crime unforgivable.

I mostly agree, but I've known a few people who were bi or gay/lesbian and tried to get the guy or girl they fell for to "just once" like 9x

Get with the program here, people use homophobe for people who are not openly accepting of gays. It isn't the correct application at all!

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)

Dear Britain, the fact that this man is not yet "Sir" is an embarrassment. Not even an MBE/OBE.
