Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

["Parlin, Steven" <PARLINS AT culver.org>]

But, then... doesn't that make people who object to the objectors of homosexuality...homophobephobes?

 

No...we need a new word for that too...homophobe doesn't work. Im hardly "afraid" of homosexuals. In fact, I enjoy their company better than most typical regular guys (who, btw, are every bit as depraved in their adulterous and philandering exploits). Nope. That someone is not inclined to hump his own sex doesn't make him afraid...just straight and dare I say...normal, to use a perfectly pedestrian term.

 

Cheers!

Steve

Walker never bought into the notion that gays were anything other than emotionally disturbed people and to that extent he remained what I would call mildly homophobic to the end. If one were looking for a convenient venerial term for homosexuals, you might try "a commitment of gays..."
