Just so you know, Stephen Fry is a degenerate "vulgar" gay who is socially pretty liberal. I thought you don't agree with those types?
To be fair he does dress pretty sharply, though. I guess you can admire him for that.
I'm not the least bit homophobic and even if I were, it wouldn't follow that I'm compelled to disagree with someone
just because he's gay.
Mr Fry, while being socially liberal (I respect that, though I hold the opposite view myself) has actively spoken out against virulent political correctness.
You do know that gays like to have casual sex, and comedians swear a lot, right? I mean he represents a lot of the qualities you have stated about liberals that you can't respect.
I don't know whether you're being serious here or just trying to make fun of me (which would be easy enough, and I'm more than thick-skinned enough to take it
). I don't expect many more homosexuals engage in casual sex than heterosexuals. I don't like profanity, which, I guess, puts me at odds with Mr Fry, but there's no profanity in the above quote.
I don't understand the principle whereby somebody becomes, as it were, untouchable because there's
one thing that one disapproves of about that person. I've noticed this a lot with people on this forum - maybe it's an autistic thing, though I've never experienced it myself. It's almost superstitious - the idea of contamination owing to contact with the undesirable "other".
