Come on. Isn't that hate about homophobism just as hateful as homophobism itself ?

Even if naimogold doesn't like gay people. So what ? Nobody's perfect.

Nobody's perfect, indeed. However, homophobism(and especially communication of homophobism) simply cross the line.

How is it any better or worse than any other form of prejudice? Don't take the high road here, everyone has their cultural taboos. I didn't say anything about this part of this thread, because I know that I have my own. In this case, I agree with both sides to some degree. I have no problem with Bruce's lifestyle, provided that I'm not exposed to it. However, as Namigold has already pointed out, in his first interview Bruce kinda shared a bit too much. He was also somewhat led there as well.

Some sorts of hate are better than others because they are based on a more valid basis. I hate nazis, because Nazis will kill me if they get the chance (I am part Gypsy) I hate homophobes because they will cause trouble for friends of mine.

So yes, I would say some sorts of prejudice are better than others.

That only applied from your own frame of reference. Self-preservation is a logical basis for ranking prejudices, and such prejudices help keep us safe. But I don't hate nazi's for the same reasons. I am both part Native American and part European Jew, but you would have been hard pressed to tell by looking at me. Beyond your self-framed references, your personal taboos have no basis in a larger society.
