Not mute, selective hearing doesn't count. Moot, because it's pointless. If you're going to turn a phrase, turn it in the right direction.

Yo. if U cant stand the ribbing recieved from yur association of being a GL fan due to Alan now being gay, yur either extremely thin-skinned or a homophobe. .. Tazer

Now, if we are going to talk about the proper use of words I think we should also get rid of this word "homophobe." It's nonsensical.

(1) While some people who persecute homosexuals may indeed be afraid of them, it's not the fear but the hatred that the term is used for. We don't refer to racists as "race-phobes," so why make up this term?

(2) Even more importantly, it doesn't mean that. Literally, if you break down the etymology of the word it means "fear of sameness." That's silly. One of my friend's uses the term "anti-gay." That's much, much more accurate and appropriate.

You need to tone down all that logic.

Some people can't accept the fact that people can morally be against homosexuality and not be "homophobes".

actually, the term can be used in either "the fear of...." OR "the hatred of...." -context; its use is fluid. and as my statement lends itself toward IF being more afraid of any contact with the GL-franchise & homosexuality, Id say my use of it is right on point.

that U tend to view/define it 1 way doesnt eliminate its other use comrade......

I am not super excited about the fact that the GL symbol may become the new Earing in the right symbol. I already have a hard enough time explaining that Green Lantern and Green Hornet are not the same people. and Why the Cartoon Green Lantern is a Black dude but the movie GL was a white dude.

I hate all the Explaining that comes with the symbol.

Okay, then point #2 remains; it doesn't mean fear of homosexual. It means fear of same. If I have "fear of same" (if that even means anything) it could mean I'm afraid of short guys with glasses.

ok how about this, DC wants AS gay fine let'em keep him gay (not a fan of him anyway) but lets force them not to use the GL name and symbol, call him something else that way they don't gay it all up (like with the rainbow)
