Homophobia – the irrational, unscientific, and primitive fear of gays and lesbians – is the vilest of hatreds.
It’s illogical and untenable. Homophobia lies in the same gutter with all the other hatreds, including racism, misogyny, religious bigotry, and tribalism. It’s the oppression of the most vulnerable members of our society.
No progressive person can be a homophobe. Just like no progressive person can hate women because of their gender.
Homophobic heterosexuals need to relax a little and see the humanity in their homosexual compatriots.
These are the thoughts of an African Gay activist from Kenya. who has some good things to say on the subject of Gay Freedom.
Here is the link. . . if you'd like to do some serious read/ think from a Third World (ever think how strange that term is?) country. The arrogance of the name-coiner!
