I think it unfair to blame Ling for his recent outburst of homophobia. The blame actually rests on the shoulders of such people as this Flight Lieutenant, who has abused the system in place to help him. But it is not only one person, there are those characters who persistently ram their sexuality down our throats, and hence present a negative image of homosexuality. But to voice any concern about the growing percentage of homosexuals is construed is homophobic, this issue is not addressed, when really the issue is not the percentage of the population who bat for the other side, but the percentage of the population who are arrogant.
This is the same with the case of racism. There is in Great Britain, a growing racist sentiment against Islam. But is this really a great surprise when one considers that the Al-Queda terrorists are muslims fighting a holy jihad? Then the very real possibility that Islamic laws may now be enforced in pre-dominant muslim areas in Great Britain un-nerves and worries us. Muslims therefore become victimised and discriminated against by the Christian majority, which suits Al-Queda's recruitment perfectly, because it provides a base of hateful, resentful and angry muslims.
I put it to you all that we all are sub-conciously homophobic, because it is different to what we ourselves would consider the norm, and I also ask it is therefore wrong to assume, that the actions of homosexuals portrayed in the daily press and the public media do add to that sub-concious homophobia which will boils and bubbles pent-up in the recesses of our minds, which will like a volcano explode in a furious and vociferous eruption of anger and hatred?
And then! And then, the person at fault is not the homosexuals who have been raising the temperature of our magma, but indeed the very individual who could no longer hold back against the pressure beating within, and who is now denounced as a homophobe, a word that can possibly be as discriminative enough as queer.
