		<description>No bother. And please continue to comment. I hope to get so many comments that I can&#039;t respond to each one, but as long the comments are respectful and intelligent, they will be responded to as time allows.

I am purposefully brief in my posts. One: it makes for easier reading. Two: it makes for more frequent posts.

I am working out my thoughts that have been developed over several years, and sometimes I&#039;ll write something that does not properly consider every angle. I expect to make mistakes. I think your label of inconsistent would be more accurately called underdeveloped. That&#039;s what this blog helps me with.

Seriously, thank you!</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t call you a homophobe. I wrongly accused you of inconsistency. And I spoke of what I would consider HETEROphobia. My first post was rash and I can only apologize for that. I won&#039;t bother you further.</description>

		<description>My apologies, I mistook your abreviated presentation for a shift in argument. The change of perpectives confused me. However you did leave out an item or two. You negleted to go over that the audience you were addressing is the one that defines homophobe as someone who finds homosexuality disgusting, in which case it would be consistent to consider some who finds heterosexuality disgusting a heterophobe. You yourself have gone over the shifting definition and how it may be misused.</description>

		<description>The idea of kissing a man passionately to me is strange. What&#039;s the point?

There is a semantic issue that I&#039;ve addressed some others here and elsewhere about a broad definition of homophobia that would include a person who believes that it is immoral. My argument is that such a definition is a shame because, like probably every homosexual, I hate the bigoted scum with the &quot;G-d hates fags&quot; signs or the people who beat up people because of their sexual orientation. I am not into the Taliban. Someone suggested heteronormative. I like it, but I don&#039;t expect it to catch on.

As for having homosexuality erased, you are too quick to lump me together with a group to which I do not belong. My desire is not to get it erased. It is (yes, here is a view to my &quot;agenda&quot;) to stop pretending that it is normative, moral, a lifestyle choice, or an arrangement into which the word marriage should be applied. 

Thank you for the comments.</description>

		<description>Speaking of consistency, you seem to have missed a bit. Reversing the roles would mean going over what you think of kissing a man yourself, not watching it happen. I know no people  that would label someone uninterested in sex within their gender homophobic. If you were talking about someone that would have heterosexuality erased, then you would have a heterophobe.</description>
