• "The term homophobe was used to castigate, denounce and ridicule anyone who was not tolerant of same gender sex being normal."
• "Hey I've always wondered, where the hell did the term homophobe come from and why is it applied to everyone who isn't pro gay?"
• "Some people are going apoplectic over it, and a few are even accusing Pope Benedict XVI of "stoking homophobia" ( "homophobe" is apparently 2008's "Infantile, Brain-Dead Insult of the Year"), so two things are immediately evident: the Pope said something that must be read, and that whatever he said is being misunderstood or misrepresented."
