I can only hope.


How about this:

Josh, what if GLAAD started pressuring its members in California to donate time and money to a campaign in Utah for a state constitutional amendment to ban Mormon marriages? And what if that amendment actually passed? How should Mormons react in such a situation?

I think "phobia" doesn't just connote fear, but also dislike and aversion.

Anyway, are you trying to promote some kind of Skainsaphilia, Josh?

Phobia suggests hate as well as fear. Your ignorant hate of gay people makes you a homophobe. If you fear homosexuals you're a coward too.

Typical liberal reaction.

I see that my previous response was moved to the Telestial Kingdom.

Anyway, I'm not a liberal.
