Pardon me, but your argument derives from Kevin wording that being gay is choice yes? Could it be just a bad choice of words? I really don't get a 'homophobe' vibe from him. I view homophobe as someone who outright hates gay people. Do you believe he hates LGBT folk?
Im sure they do. Why else waste time copy and pasting that vile shit.
But he also said that he's changed and he no longer makes those jokes. Is this not progress on his part?
Yes, 10+ years ago for which he apologized numerous times. How much more blood do you need from him?
My argument was that he's making progress, not that he has been absolved of all wrong doing. Could be a point of ignorance for someone to call being gay a choice. If he apologized, says he's changed and he no longer makes those jokes, I'm willing to give the guy a little bit of the benefit of the doubt, but it's cool man. You are free to feel as strongly as you do.
No, asking someone to view your lifestyle properly isn't a lot to ask. Nor is it a lot to ask people to not celebrate devastating car crashes because one of the people in the car isn't perfect.
That's fine and all, but let's be honest, this goes both ways.
Except he did. Numerous times. And they were open to having him come and do the Oscars and he turned them down.
...do you honestly feel this is a reasonable excuse for being homophobic at 40?
no, some people need more time to evolve on the issue. Not everyone is privileged to have all progressiveness showered on them and be perfect. Some people need more time to upgrade their thoughts, especially if they had a more difficult path to attain success.
To be fair, the comment he replied to wasn't relevant to the thread either. You didn't have anything to say about that, though.
My own evolution on the matter only happened in my mid-20s when I started working professionally, I had Gay co-workers and they were great co-workers.
