Even students are afraid to speak out in the classroom, lest they be suspended. Now it looks like our own gay rights lobby is conjuring up the same arguments.

Here we have the false notion that government endorsement of homosexual behaviour – and I would appreciate it if you were to differentiate between the person and the behaviour – would somehow eliminate homophobia.

A reality which most activists fail to grasp is that you don’t need to agree with homosexual behaviour to condemn acts of violence and unjust discrimination against people with same sex attractions.

They are people, just like the rest of us, with inherent dignity. Likewise, one need not favour obesity to defend obese students from bullies at school.

We’re not even sure if the bus incident was a homophobic attack, as the dispatcher made no reference to their orientation. Ironically, he was on the receiving end of a homophobic slur. Please, let’s for once let all the facts come in before passing judgement.

He surely doesn’t go red in the face, ghax xejn ma igielu jisthi.

I agree with the last comment – the root problem here isn’t, I think, necessarily glorifying homosexuality (which is a strange idea), but normalising a culture that treats sexuality itself as nothing more than a commodity and worse, a political weapon.

I said “unfortunate condition” because I could notbring myself to write “sickness”

Silvio, there is nothing to be “thankful” about not being thrown into prison just because one is homosexual. We’re not being kind in not doing that; we’re just being fair. That said, there is behaviour that is unacceptable on a public bus, be it done by homosexuals or heterosexuals.

If so , then I believe that white, heterosexual Christians are in for a rocky time if Labour will be in power.

How exactly is lesbianism an “unfortunate condition”?
