12. I'm straight and I find homophobia to be enshrined irrationality

That's what it really is, racism and sexism are too, and the mainstream culture finds them repulsive (as they should), but yet they give more equal time to people blaming gays for 9/11 or calling them worse than terrorists.

It seems like more people are waking up to this, but there is still a lot of work done and people need to realize that manure, even when perfumed with 'But it just feels like...' or 'traditional values', is still manure.
