Who is this thread, other than you, has mentioned anything about hating homosexual persons?So, IOW, religious folks are haters?No one in this thread who thinks "outing" Dumbledore was at least a silly thing to do has mentioned anything about hating homosexual persons, yet now we're told their motivation is based on prejudice and hatred which in most cases is rooted in religion.Relique du Madde is right about one thing: Any effort to explore this train of thought would get the thread locked. In fact, any effort to dissent from the conclusion of Particle_Man's deeply flawed syllogism above would result in the thread being locked. IOW, those who feel free to laud homosexual persons for their orientation are allowed to do so, but the other side which is more critical of the morality of homosexual activity isn't.This isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind you. After all, this thread isn't about homosexual activity's morality. It isn't about thoughtless accusations of hatred and prejudice based on "thousands of years of dogma".This thread is about Dumbledore being "outed" by Rowling, and what her motivations for doing so were, whether such a step is warranted by the texts themselves, and whether Rowling is actually a good writer. For my part, she did it for the publicity/money, the step is unwarranted, and Rowling is only somewhat more talented than the average hack.</blockquote>
