I know my outbursts about homosexuality came across as extremely harsh and offensive. I won't lie -- I do find homosexuality repulsive and yes, I am opposed to same-sex marriage and adoption. What I am not is somebody who judges other's merits on the basis of their sexual orientation.
See, I've been dealing with some hurtful slander recently. There is a rumor being spread by a particularly malicious individual that I'm a homosexual. Which couldn't possibly be further from the truth. The mentioned malicious individual has a a bunch of gay friends who are now probably under the impression that I'm gay. It's likely pointless to tell you how much of a problem this is and will be.
Another thing I hope people understand is that me and Kunisada aren't exactly buddies at the best of times. Whatever I say, he disagrees. Whatever he says, I disagree. Every topic we debate degenerates into a ****-throwing contest, and whoever throws the most **** wins. On the gay rights thread everything got completely out-of-hand, I responded to ad-hominems with insults towards both Kunisada and homosexuals.
So yes, while the opinions I expressed were my own. The insults were just another part of the childish flame-wars I partake in. Don't take what was said on the thread at face-value. I'm just a big baby when it comes to debating on the web.
I strongly hope the mods won't close this thread. I think it's important to explain exactly why I made the comments I did, regardless of how illogical the reasoning.
