Lines: 17 From: Mike Ciaraldi You may recall a recent article in this group where someone was complaining about someone else's anti-gay remarks, and said something like, "well, you know what psychiatrists say about people who hate gays..." I assume what he meant was that those who are anti-gay are trying to suppress gay feelings within themselves. (actually, there are several things that psychiatrists say about this, but I think this is the one he meant). Taking that to its logical conclusion, does that mean people who speak out against offensive jokes are themselves offensive, or harbor secret desires to offend people? Just wondering... Mike Ciaraldi
