sparkindarknessAt least according the Thompson, the attorney fighting against marriage equality in the proposition 8 trial in California - homophobia is OVER!
See, we have Will & Grace, Philadelphia and Brokeback Mountain and that won awards, AWARDS PEOPLE! Surely this is proof, PROOF that homophobia is dead!
Because, y'know, a film written by a straight person, acted by straight people and directed by straight people is totally proof that there's not homophobia any more because it's about teh GAYS!
Oh and Nancy Pelosi is apparently a fierce advocate (don't you just love it when straight people say who gay allies are? And, also, SINCE WHEN?!) and we have Barney Frank! And thousands of companies have non-discrimination policies! (Yeah, and thousands more DON'T! The mere fact these policies are NEEDED are proof that homophobia is still here). Totally proof of a homophobia free society
Y'know I was actually typing a rebuttal to this. But, really? REALLY?
